That is awesome. I wonder if the radio mast can be built extended?

I wonder if the radio mast can be built extended?

Using one of my collected photos of some earlier sprue-shots ... I don´t think so.
Possibly there´s only one stowed variant "make-able". I don´t know.

But, I think, that some after-market companies will do a nice update-set for making the antenna in extended position.

Nice kit Trumpeter!


greetings...

This isn´t a BTR-60 PU-12 vehicle. It is a BTR-60 R-145BM version.

So it sounds like Trump will be putting out numerous radio variants of the 60. Very cool!
