Hi Guys,
I have seen a photo of the PT76 in Chechnya I understand that it belonged to troops of the interior ministry??
A: Were would / could I buy decals for interior ministry troops
B: Is it a PT76 or a PT76b??
C: Are they just standard service vehicles or were they tweaked as such??
Thanks for any & all help
Cheers Mike

The only AM decal set I know of off the top of my head is from Bison http://www.bison-decals.com/35099.html. The 2nd set is OOP. If the PT-76 you're talking about is the same one I'm thinking of you should be able to achieve the looks you're going for with that set.

Yes. PT-76B only in Chechnya during the first war is very limited use internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

I have personally used the decals from the sets Eastern Express, you can also take the emblems of the sets of the BTR-80, the company Zvezda.
It was PT-76B. Standard tanks with different attachments as amended spare tracks, rubber side skirts.
