Ace Model has announced its new kit depicting the anti-tank version of the BTR-3.

The BTR-3 is an 8x8 armored personnel carrier jointly developed by Ukrainian and United Arab Emirates companies in 2000. Whilst said to be an improved Soviet BTR-80, it is not an upgrade as it is a totally newly built vehicle. Various configurations have been produced as the BTR-3 was deployed in vehicle recovery, heavy fire support, and command post roles. Aside from Ukraine, the BTR-3 variants are used by countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Myanmar, and Thailand.

Ace Model depicts the BTR-3RK, the anti-tank variant armed with four ATGM launchers. Offered in 1/72 scale, kit 72176 contains plastic, and photo-etched parts. It may be finished either as a vehicle with the Ukrainian Army or the Royal Thai Army.
