Greetings all! I have just popped over from Aeroscale with a question. For an upcoming Sea Plane campaign, I am going to build Revell's 1/144 A-90 Ekranoplan Orljonok.
After seeing some YouTube clips of the A-90 in action, I am considering building it into a beach diorama, with the front ramp open, with a BTR-70 disembarking.
I have done some web searches, but I haven't been able to find any manufacturer, big or small, that produces a 1/144 scale BTR. So, my question is, does anyone on here know where I might find one?

Thanks in advance, Lee

Thanks for that Juhász! I think that the 1/100 Zvedza one is the best option.
