Zvezda 1/35 BTR-70, 1980’s Soviet Afghan War

Thanks Borg. I know exactly what you mean. To me, the “red menace” was exemplified by two machines- the T-72 and the Hind gunship.

With you on the Hind. I think a certain movie did a lot to demonstrate that.

Great finish after a long fight, Stik. Zvezda has some nice armor kits in its range. Getting better and better with each but still able to sell them for a good price.
Your work is again an example for what one can achieve with a decent kit and no AM.

Thank you Torben. Early Zvezda stuff is a hodge podge of kits from various sources, and various quality, in this case being Dragon. Their new stuff is nice.

And yeah, a few movies, along with some Army threat briefings and films made the Hind into the stuff of nightmares...
