Building BTR 70 model APC

[ComradeMP187]

Great model. Building a BTR-70 right now myself (zvezda, repackage of revell?) Really easy build, also got a BTR-80A (stalled) going. I remember doing the wheel suspensions was a nightmare because the instructions were a little vauge. Anyway, it should be easier this time around on the BTR 70. Even got a Trumpeter BTR-40 waiting to be started. Where will I find space for my countless kits?

@ComradeMP187 throw out your wifes shoe collection lol

[gaydanzig]

MOTOSTRELKI!!

Wish there was a BTR-90 kit out there....

Nice model and good cam BTW.

[LJFHutch]

Nice! That is quite possibly my APC, loved the finish you put on it at the end :)

[seahawkfsx]

I did the UN livery on this model.

[TankNutDave]

@Ophiguris This the Revell kit. I have one for sale in my model shop. Its 21.6cm in length.

[Kristian1944]

Love what you're doing. :)

I'm build a Scale Model convoy at the moment, allready got a HMMWV and M2a2 bradley done, but was wondering what else to add, any recommendations?

[TankNutDave]

@Kristian1944 Well you could try either an M1A1 Abrams or M551 Sheridan or a USMC LAV-AT. Ive got all three models on my shop at my site and ship worldwide :-)

[Kristian1944]

@TankNutDave

Nah, sorry but the LAV wouldnt fit an Army convoy. ;)

Thinking about Abrams

[RayVal53]

lol east germany? wtf is that?

[showmethetanks]

@RayVal53 You dont know what East Germany was? AKA German Democratic Republic ?

[RayVal53]

@showmethetanks lol I was being obnoxious.

[ayad09]

[TankNutDave]

@ayad09 Possibly could be but not as childish as making fun of others

[dangerousprimate]

[gorrammit]

Hmmm, this looks like a re-packaged Dragon BTR-70 (or the other way around?)

[vdvsoldat]

The cover of the box is so good I would like to frame it and hang it on the wall.

Dave you are much appreciated in the Military modeling world. Thanks so much.

[TankNutDave]

[talos597]

[TankNutDave]

defo, im building the Italian C1 Ariete at the moment :-)

[alexw351]

Dave where do you keep all your models? You must have hundreds of them, i keep mine for now in "storage" ,im not home that often plus getting new apartament soon

[TankNutDave]

I keep them in the least dusty place lol cleaning them is a nightmare, so they are on class shelves, but im building a model shop for my site soon and found a company who build display cabinets so hoping to do something with them :-)

[LeModelist]

another great video keep goin

[TankNutDave]

Thanks mate

[bedbugg1]

that paint job is exellent! im still amazed how you can get them so detailed

[TankNutDave]

Thanks mate, I actually really love it, the grey looks great and was the deciding factor to do this paint scheme, that and the fact they are large camo area's instead of the normal complex camo pattern :-)

[dreas260]

Awesome vid! Especially since its Russian :)

Also, do you have any tips on making the track colors? for a Panzerjager Elefant?

[TankNutDave]

You can check photos of it on line, try a google image search and match them up that way. They will be pre road pad tracks like you get on modern MBT's. with those I personally prefer to paint them brown and then the parts of the track that come in to contact with the ground I paint metallic as if they were worn down. If you go to the tank section of my website, scroll down to the Swedish STRV tank and check out the model you'll see what I mean :-)

[KurtGnu]

Looking good! :)

[TankNutDave]

Glad you like it :-)
