About product

The real subject

The BTR-80 is a Soviet eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier that remains in service with a number of armies to this day. Its armor protects the crew against splinters and small arms fire, but it is not built for more, and the crews therefore added protection of their own from whatever was at hand. Sandbags stacked on the nose and on the sides of the hull are among the most common modifications visible in photographs from real deployment.

What the set contains

The set brings sandbags shaped to the outline of the BTR-80, so they seat on the actual surfaces of the hull and do not have to be laboriously reworked. The individual bags have the sagging and the folds of cloth of a filled bag giving way under its own weight.

Building and painting tips

The accessory is added onto a finished hull:

  • Degrease both the surface and the part before gluing and let them dry
  • Glue with super glue, which holds even on a smooth surface
  • Apply a thin base coat and only then the color matching sacking
  • Bring out the gaps between the bags with a darker glaze and the edges with a dry brush

Sacking is not of one color. The difference between a newer and a faded bag, dust settled in the folds and traces of the crew's touch will give the whole depth that a khaki shade on its own will never provide.

Who it is for

The set is intended for builders of the BTR-80 in 1:35 scale who want to move the vehicle from its factory form to a scene from real deployment. A model, paints and glue are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Models of the eight-wheeled BTR-80 armored personnel carrier in 1:35 scale.

It is not. It is an accessory that is added onto the finished hull of a model of your own.

With super glue onto a degreased surface. A thin base coat is applied before painting.

Most often on the nose and the sides of the hull, that is where the crews of real vehicles added improvised protection.
