Here's another Soviet vehicle for Zona Alfa or maybe some Cold War wargaming, this time an APC: a BTR-80 in 1:72 scale.
I assembled and painted this Trumpeter kit about a year or so ago, and was actually quite proud of it. But that was before I discovered the wonderful work of such YouTube hobbyists and tank specialists as Night Shift, Panzermeister36 or PLASMO. Seriously, if you're in any way interested in painting eye-popping tanks, go learn from these guys.

Now I'm a little ashamed of my BTR. I will probably re-do it, or at least fix it with better weathering, pin-washing and panel lining, and anything else I get the inspiration to do.
Of course, any excuse to paint more weathered Soviet-era vehicles is always welcome. That's why I already have on my workbench a BMP-1, and I'm eyeing some MAZ truck kits...
