Trumpeter BTR-40 in IDF colors

April 12, 2019 · in Armor · · 16 · 7K

Hi guys, here is my Russian armored vehicle BTR-40, in colors. A few dozens of these vehicles were taken from the Egyptian army by the IDF during operations and wars, and they were called in the IDF: Bambino.
The kit by in scale, is an excellent one - very accurate and well detailed. I needed to scratch build all the modifications for the IDF version and used Ammo mig colors and weathering effects.
Base IDF color is A-Mig 066.
Have a great weekend everyone!

  6. Very nice model, beautiful detail, and amazing attention to detail. It's interesting how the Israelis used what they could from captured equipment
