Since long time I've wanted to build a BTR-60. So i've purchased NOBI's model and start building it. My intentions is to paint the model in the end to look like a Yemenite BTR-60.
From the beginning I've spotted some problems:
-It's in 1:35 so kinda big and it doesn't have a internal structures
-I don't know what version is the model , I think is a PB
-Many pieces are missing , I will tell you latter
-For some pieces like the hatches the instructions aren't very clear

Some mistakes that I've noticed so far:
-front hatches should have round corners
-one hatch is missing
-that frontal piece ( I don't know the english translation for it ) is missing
-no headlights

I've colored the body and the turret this week-end. I hope that next week I will start making the wheels and the missing parts.

love to follow, just a suggestion you can use 100gr/m2 or higher paper for 1/35 scale model, I usually used it for my armor model and without any internal structure.
keep the good work:thumb:
