Hello everyone,I miss you all

suspension system..





vinyl wheels and I painted with Vallejo Dark rubber

Various handles made ​​with copper wire...

What a sweet little jewel.

@erhntly - Erhan,

Nice to see one of these being built again. ;-H Looks like it's coming along nicely. If you are interested, I did a build of this beast a while ago and you can find it at BTR-80 Blog that for some reason they put in the Russian Forum. There is a lot of information in the Blog that was provided by helpful members, including drawings and such.

Cheers,
Jan

P.S. - Don't be such a stranger in this forum!

@erhntly – Erhan,

Good to see some of your work here again looks like you’re making good progress on your rendition of this 8-wheeled Russian made vehicle.

I've built one as well OOTB. It's a gem of a little kit despite the inacuracies.

Thank you dear friends,
Now I will come more often. ( I build a few model for armorama campaigns I share with you )

Jan @ I know your BTR, and it was an important reference for me..

and...
Painting time... main color is Vallejo Khaki



camouflage is Vallejo Russian green

Glad to se you back here and posting Erhan! The BTR looks well done and I like that camo. I've been on the lookout for one of these but haven't found one yet.

Regards,
AJ

Hi AJ and many thanks

My flowers..I applied some pigment..





Assembly is OK !







I did tow-cable..

Now that is looking very good indeed.

I built a BTR-80 a while back using Vallejo Russian Green overall and was most happy with the finished build.



Currently putting together all the aftermarket stuff to build a BTR-80A.

very nice build,did you hand paint the cammo or spray it?

Michael, Thank you. Also, I know your BTR-80. (Henk of Holland or OTW), a very nice finish.

Roy, I don't like the airbrush. Only use the brush.

I will share when it's finished..

Regards..

Really nice BTR-80 Erhan! I have this kit as well so I'll be watching you on this one, as well as the others mentioned here!

Very nice Erhan. What did you use to make the tow-cable?

Best regards.
