BTR-60s - progress on 1991 Iraqi Army force

December 22, 2019

My BTR-60s finally arrived, so I can complete building for my 1991 Iraqi Army armored / mechanized force. BTR-60s are now built, primed, base-colored, and washed. Additional wash and progress put on ZSU-23-4s and T54/55/Type 59-IIs.

15mm Battlefront, originally for Team Yankee, re-purposed for a 1991 historical Desert Storm force.

The BTR-60 platoon boxed set from Battlefront.

Sprues! Yay!

One kit off the sprues.

First one built. I had some issues with some of the sprue connection points. But they'll be smoothed out / painted over.

BTR-60s are now built, alongside the pre-existing T-54/55/Type 59-IIs, and my completed USMC 1991 Desert Storm force to the upper left.

BTR-60s built. The top and bottom hulls had SLIGHT fit issues. Nothing a little shaving off the back wouldn't fix.

Primed black. Base-colored desert sand. Dark gray on the tires.

The combined Iraqi force. Most of the washing is now done on the hulls. The turrets still have to be washed. Then details / crew / markings, and then of course infantry. A long way to go, but a solid weekend of progress.
