Hey all, I just bought the Zveda BTR 70 kit (I believe it is a re-pack of the old Dragon kit) and was wondering if anyone makes an AM turret. Also, some suggestions on AM whells would be great, too.

Thanks, Dan

SP Designs makes several styles of wheels for it I think. I don't know of any aftermarket turrets either. Why do you want to replace it if you don't mind me asking?

Erik,
My kid got a hold og the turret and messed it up pretty bad. I also didn't really like the barrel.

Haha that's a good enough reason. Hmm I wonder if Zvezda has any customer service? Also, I'd start checking around eBay for a cheap kit to take it's turret from or check out the For Sale section on this forum.

Thanks Erik,

I bought it threw Squadron and I had a kit damaged from them a few years ago. I called and 2 new sprues were on my door step a week later.

TMD does some nice wheels. Also RB has the barrel.
