Military Model Scene

Trumpeter have been adding a number of new small scale kits to their range in recent months.  One of them is the Early version of the Russian BTR-70 APC.  Nicely detailed and simple and straightforward to build.  The 8-wheel design has nicely done suspension arms which go together well and make the assemblies neat and simple, while the tyres are moulded in a black vinyl and just slip onto the hubs.  Best to paint the hull and hubs before adding the tyres and fitting the wheels to the suspension units.

 If there is one change I would have wished for, then it is that the hatches were not all moulded shut, a bit odd as the box art image show one open on the hull, yet these are actually all moulded shut.  Next steps will be to add detail paint, transfers and weathering....

I bought mine from E- Models who sent the order through very quickly.
