BTR-80 – historical overview

The Soviet BTR-80 is an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier that entered production in 1986 as the successor to the BTR-70. It was used by the Soviet Army and later the Russian Army, as well as in many countries of the former Eastern Bloc and worldwide. The vehicle participated in numerous conflicts, including the war in Afghanistan (during the Cold War) and military operations in Chechnya and the Caucasus. To this day, the BTR-80 is widely used by various armies as a transport and infantry support vehicle.

What does the Eduard 35522 set contain?

• Richly designed photo-etched parts allowing for detailed interior and exterior enhancements: covers, handles, ventilation grilles, turret components, clasps, and hooks.
• The set significantly increases the level of realism by adding details missing in the base version of the model.
• Precisely matched components make assembly easier even for less advanced modelers, though the recommended skill level is 3/5.
