I built this APC several months ago but was too busy to photograph. It’s a fairly simple design. I tried to mimic the Russian BTR series of APCs, which I’m so fond of. The BTR is one of the most practical APCs in operation around the world. This is because it has been upgraded since the 60s, when APC were actually personnel carriers, not AFVs (think the semi-tank US Bradley). The vehicle also represents lessons learned from WWII by the Russians; it is highly mobile and troops can even shoot their AK-series assault rifles out of ports from inside. In a nutshell, the BTR series embodies the Soviet “Deep Battle” Military Doctrine/Theory.

Okay, that’s enough babbling from me. Enjoy the MOC.
