I'm building Trumpeter's BTR-70 Early kit and was wondering what other camo schemes are realistic beyond the standard green featured in the included painting guide? Any two/three tone camos like those seen on the BTR-80s, for instance?

Thanks a lot!

Danke, Jochen! The thing is, I'm not sure the early variant has been used in Afghanistan...

Yes, the early version of the BTR-70 was used by the soviet army in Afghanistan.
