hi Alexey,

nice to see so many new things added, all must be due out fairly soon because box art is done....good, nice surprise PT-76 hopfully with NEW naval infantry markings aswell.

mark

were did you see the posting for the PT-76? I would also be nice if they made the FROG-7 convention.

first choose http:://www.acemodel.com.ua then go to the soon section and have a look at the last product.
It looks like acemodel.tripod.com is not really up to date...
However I also hope for more vehicles on PT-76 / BTR-50 base but I think it is only a question of time until we will see more long awaited models from Kiev, right Alexey ?

I'll add photos and links to other sites as soon as models will be ready for sale.
Tripod site will be updated soon.


Sincerely, Alexey.

Does this mean a ZSU 23-4 as well?

My father was an Airborne Ranger in Vietnam. He's told me of an encounter he had with a PT-76. He and his squad had been tracking three of them on the opposite bank of a river. When they finally decided to cross, they ambushed them with LAW rockets. One which was hit in the tracks starting spinning its turret while firing the coaxial machine gun, which caused his men some trouble. They finally destroyed it with a LAW. He said those rockets made short work of them, given the PT-76's light armor.

A lot of things are behind the vehicles we model.

Thanks,
Matt.

Any chance of a separate little kit containing just the turret and gun from the LT-LBM?
I am sure you would have a nice market for that little gem.

Don't see a reason to sell these parts separately - anyway modeller will have to buy MTLB kit as well.
Don't think many modellers want to pay for extra box and instructions/decals.
If You want to use this set to convert BTR-80 into BTR-80A then I don't know where You'll find a BTR-80

That BTR will come from YOU !!
Thanks for the reply !

Hello Alexey-

The running gear on both vehicles look the same to me. I assumed it was based on the PT-76's hull.

Thanks,
Matt.
