Gents (and ladies),

Ay word on a 35th scale injection moulded BTR 60?

Harald

As far as I know there is not one nor have there been any rumors of one coming soon.

Verlinden did one in resin, but the suspension was basically a wire rod through the resin hull, if I remember correctly. Not sure if it is in production or not, somehow I think not.


I believe there is one in 1/72 from Ace or some other eastern European/Russian company, but since 1/72 is not my thing I'm not 100% sure.

DML/Dragon did/do a -70 and -80.
Zvezda uses the same molds for theirs and adds a new - and add only so-so turret for the -80A.

sorry,
Mike

Edit:
whew, beat Tom to the punch this time...

Hi

No, nothing injection wise. Verlinden (Trophy) did a resin one years ago as did MB. Panzershop has just released two variants of the -60, in resin of course.

If you do 1/72 there are a few and IIRC Roco and Trident do 1/87 scale ones both in plastic.

I did one in 1/72 from ACE.

Cant really recommend it if you are not into scratch building and lot of correction.

No, there are no plastic kits of BTR-60 in 1/35. Ace and ICM did a few in 1/72, but I can't comment on them. As stated above, Panzershop does a few BTR-60s in resin, but they - like the Verlinden kit, don't have any suspension detail. If you really want to build an accurate kit, buy the Panzershop and try fitting a BTR-70/80 bottom hull and suspension to it.
