Gary, thanks buddy! CeeBee no worries mate, These Trumpy kits are very well detailed and I'm probably not going add much. Got to say I'm a big fan of them. Thanks Dan! Andy, so far no snow yet, still getting the rain. I'm sure that's going to change soon.

This is crazy... we are only an hour apart... maybe more... no snow at your end while we are getting slammed here.

That's a kit I'll surely get sooner or later (I think sooner). Welcome to the BTR group build, I will join you next week

Thanks Spud!
Luigi, it's a nice kit you'd like it for sure. Your doing the BTR-70 right? Does it have a pretty good interior as well?

Coming along very nicely John. Looks like you handled the suspension with no problem.

Sorry guys for the late reply. Thanks Jeff! The suspension was a bit tricky in spots but good instructions and dry fitting got it all sorted. Thanks Luigi! Mine has a decent interior and I think I'll leave most of the hatches open. Thanks for stopping in Thom! Thanks Pete!

Not a lot accomplished in the last couple of weeks. Filling in some unused holes and god awful ejector pin marks on the inner hull tub. Added a few boxes and other bits. Floor pan is started as well. At my usual snails pace I should be able to finish hopefully by summer. Even then I still ought to finish this before Andy gets that DUKW done!

Excellent PE work!!! Hobby Town USA has this very kit on sale for like $25 along with several different BTRs and BMPs. Tempting, huh? LOL
Awful ejector pins?!?! I am saying prayers that Dicky doesn't read this!!!
Talking about my baby DUKW behind my back? LOL I hope to finish it for the show... I have to because I don't have many completed builds to enter. LOL

I was really hopin to see some progress on this one. Mine had the same ejector pin marks, looks like they engineered both kits the same way. The interiors look already magnific, John. Suspensions look great too

Andy, 25 bucks for a Trumpy BTR? You'd better grab that up quick! Very nice kit. I'll be looking for that DUKW at the show. Thanks Jeff! This PE is a dream to work with so far. Thanks Leon! Thanks Luigi! It looks like both kits are very similar. Thanks Pete! Dicky, I repent! I never knew they were precision recesses before I spoke those blasphemous words! And to think I filled them in! Oh the humanity! Thanks brother Gary! I am doing penance for my misdeeds! Thank you Master Nemo!

And another BTR so what's the difference between this one and Luigi's? More or less precision recesses? lol

BTRs are russian wheeled APC, there have been several models of them. They tend to look similar but they have lots of differences

Thanks guys! I've gotten a bit done on the lower interior. Just a bit more dirtying up and it'll be on to the upper interior.

Oh yeah its back!!! Interior looks fantastic especially the dashboard! I see many shifting sticks... no way I will ever figure out which one is for.

Thanks Andy! LOL, I have no idea as to what the shift levers are for either. Thanks Jeff for the compliments! Thank you very much Leon! Thanks Luigi! I've still got a bit to do on it. Got to maybe do a bit of chipping and more dirt. Thanks Pete!
