I have had to do a slight printability fix to the M113A1 turret (thickening the vision blocks slightly). As this is an older model, as per usual with these revisions, I have also re-sprued it up to the current standards. Because of the saving in machine space and parts count, this has dropped the price by roughly 20%!

Perfect timing: I blew my monthly gaming budget yesterday. But there is always next month.

Any chance of a BTR-60 in the works? My Soviets are in desperate need of some expendable battalions.

As I noted just in that other thread, the BTR-60PA is actually done (just this past week) and will be released in the next couple of months; I'm planning nominally on releasing the Mk 3 and Mk 5 Chieftains in June, so possibly July.

By that point, I might even have had time to do one or two variants of it (e.g. BTR-60P or BTR-60PB and, for UshCha, a waterline version for using in naval landings!), but it depends on how things go.

That said, if people are waving enough orders in my direction, I am not at all adverse to swapping those releases around!

Cool! Have a price range for the BTR yet? And don't forget the BTR-60R command vehicle.

Aotrs Commander21 May 2016 11:45 a.m. PST

The BTR-60PA will be about £6.00 GBP/ $7.3 USD.

As far as I can tell (from wiki), all the various BTR-60R and/or command vehicles (not al of the command vehicles are even desingated BTR-60) are BTR-60PB variants.

Given the plethora which permutation of the BTR-60R were you thinking of in particular?

Any model suitable for a command stand.

Would love to see the BTR-60PB, and a waterline variant of it, or two.

Definitely need a flush, swimming one, and perhaps one that looks as if it is crawling up onto the bottom of a sloped beach, out of the water as well (front higher than the rear).

Is this 15mm scale?
