Hi Gang,

just started SKIF`s MT-LB kit to be build as Swedish PBV 401.
So, according to Murphy`s Law, th MT-LB will be soon announced from Trumpeter.

Cheers

Thanks a lot for igniting Trumpeter's interest in this family of vehicles, a large field of possibilities there

Good luck for your build. Are you using any conversion set for the Swedish mods?

Salut Olivier,

I will use the standard AM sets like roadwheels, tracks and PE.
Fortunatly the Swedes used the vehicles provided by reunited Germany "out-of-the-box" only the lighting ssytem was rebuild to western standards and tthe hull were rebuild to zero hours, zero miles conditions. But believe me it´s nevertheless a whole lot of work.

The Skif MT-LB is a rough build but a fun one none the less. I would love Trumpeter to put one out, there are so many possibilities. I like to look at it as the M113 of the Soviet and Russian army, it could do almost anything.

Hi Petr,

good website. What version of the MT-LB is this? Did you do the Bundeswehr vehicles at the Militärhistorisches Museum Dresden?
