Hi All,
Does anybody have any pics/drawings of the interior of one of these beasts.
I'm especially interested in the drivers area and inside the side entry doors.
TIA
Tom

Tom, I dont have any interior shots, but I do have a shot of 2 Estonian BTR-80's (Command) that I took during Operation Baltic Challenge (Peace-keeping Ops) in 1997.



Hope this will serve some form of motivation !!

Cheers !!

AEF Designs may have done a BTR turret interior with a few hull interior pieces years ago...not sure though and it is not currently listed on their website. Caveat Emptor with them anyhow...

As for interior shots, they are very far and few...I do not have any on hand.

I do not think they let people roam around them in Kubinka and not sure if any I/S/K-FOR people have been able to poke noses in their neighbors vehicles...

Great pix!

How I would love new current-technology kits of the BTR-70, -80 and BMP-1 and -2!!

Dragon? Trumpeter? Anyone...?

Much Aloha,

Johnny B.
