That looks very realistic. Great job on the weathering.

Re: BTR-70
That looks great Canuck, very nicely painted and weathered (I'm very much in the less is more camp when it comes to weathering).

Looks superb Canuck, those wheels look completely convincing. Any chance of some more pics of the finished model?

Re: BTR-70
Don't seem to matter what angle you photograph it from; it still looks real.
Excellent modelling, it's a beauty.

Re: BTR-70
Thanks for posting those extra images, Canuck.
As 59North commented, it looks great from any angle.

Re: BTR-70
Thanks, 59 North, and greetings from a fellow Canadian!
This is the only Zvezda kit I've ever built, and I found it to be very nice indeed. The way you see it is pretty much out-of-the-box, except for the windows and a couple of the mounting handles, which were replaced with wire.
Cheers!
