This is Zvezda's 1:35 BTR-70. This was painted with Krylon "Hosta Leaf" from a spray can, and weathered with artists' oils and pigments. A very enjoyable, straightforward build, with good fit throughout!

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).

Re: BTR-70
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!
