Lovely work Dave- I love the weathering- especially around the open hatches- fantastic.

Hey, Dave, I'm really liking this one.

Your pictures here are very nice, but they don't do you model full justice. I enjoyed getting a good look at it in person last week at the meeting.

I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do to finish it up!

Very nice work Dave, thank you for the update.

I am particularly impressed by the hatch interior, can you tell us how this was achieved?

Nice work Dave.
I especially like the weathering and chipping inside the hatch.

Having spent a couple of days looking around and driving these, BRDM 1's and a BTR 60 in the Sudan (back in the day) I can agree that it is indeed a large vehicle with lots of interior space.

The center wheels were woefully inadequate and the interior chain linkages constantly fouled the driving gear....


Keep the updates coming..


Keith.

Lots of potential in that figgy there, Dave.

Looking forward to seeing all this in person next week.

Very cool. Don't forget to add a handle on the barrel of the KPVT. For whatever reason Trumpeter left it off.
