GazB Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Hey all I present my first fully completed project vehicle. This a 1/35 Revell BTR-70 I've had sitting on my for years windowsill for years as a three-tone GDR version. After a foray into respraying an old T-80 in Olive Green, and discovering it has a bang-on Soviet armour look, I decided to recolour my BTR. I then used some old decals from a Tamiya T-62 (I don't know how accurate the combination is), and put to use some old desert Mig Pigments in my first attempt to weather up some armour (my first successful attempt was a Y-Wing). I have some old Dragon Motor Rifle Troops as well, which need a bit of tidying up to go with it. The cardboard I have it resting on has me thinking of a simple dusty base for it, roughly the same size as the vehicle. The vehicle itself is missing the odd component. I think I have the parts somewhere but, couldn't be bothered to find them, lol. Going to add a tiny bit of stowage that I have that would suit a Russian vehicle, namely a single Jerry can that differs from the rest (I don't know what it was from originally), and maybe a sleeping roll or two and a folded tarp. Overall, I think it turned out quite well. I did worry that it looked a bit heavy at first, but it seems to have worked out Looking forward to any thoughts you guys have Gaz Edited May 17, 2016 by GazB 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomMajor Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 chances are that it is a ddragon kit if Zvezda had it as they are know for Dragon reboxing of kits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 chances are that it is a ddragon kit if Zvezda had it as they are know for Dragon reboxing of kits I was surprised at how many kits are reboxed Thanks for the info, Phantom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
