Hi All, I was wondering if any of you know of any references on the BTR-80? I picked up the Zvezda BTR-80, and I need some references for this future build. I have the CONCORD book “Soviet Wheeled Armored Vehicles” for a start, plus about 10 pictures from the net. Do you know of any other?
Thanks
Rob Savage
Heres some for you. Hope they help you out. Bryan

Hi there Rob. You know what, I got that same kit too. I was planning to do a dio about the Chechnya conflict but my project got shelved due to more important priorities. Anyway here’s one more link:

I hope this helps.[:D]
How is the Zvezda BTR-80?, I thought about picking one up if the quality is OK, if not I will hunt down an old DML kit, unless it is a rerun of the DML kit then no point. I want to do a Romanian unit that served in Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, the " Red Scorpions" and need a BTR.
Thanks for the links! As far as this kit, it looks OK, but I am going to do a OOB review of it. I’d go for it, as it is the only game in town, unless you can find a Dragon kit. Be warned though, the Dragon kit needs work, and there are issues with out of scale parts, etc. Check FSM back issues for a review and rebuild of this kit. Sorry, I don’t have the date of the issue, but I think it is about 5-6 years ago (any help here FSM Staff??)
I’m off now to do some printing from the links above! Please keep them coming!
