Hi all,
thanks to a fellow member, I uploaded to my site a walkaround of an unsual BTR-80 in service with the Hungarian police anti-terrorist agency (TEK).

Here it is


Enjoy the visit

This is a great one!

The lights at the top are an obvious addition but what would be other differences compared to a "stock" BTR-80?

You've got at least the LED lights, the anti-slip patches all over the horizontal surfaces.

That's for an open-up version... Is anybody doing 1/35 doughnuts? I guess the 1/25 and 1/24 market is larger for those but still...

Depending on which kit you start from there is also the bumpers on each side of the front supports/hinges for the trim vane.
Trumpeters BTR-80A has this type of bumpers, the plain BTR-80 kit has another type.
