1:72 Scale		Length		Width
GAZ BTR-80 8x8 APC		4.25"		1.75"

The BTR-80 appeared in the 1980's when it became obvious that the BTR-70 was an inadequate APC (from the Afghanistan experience). Again, it retains the shape of the BTR-60PB and the BTR-70. The BTR-80 also retains their basic features, including armament, night-vision equipment, NBC protection system etc, and amphibious capability etc. The BTR-80 can hold seven men in addition to the two crewmen. There are three forward-facing firing ports along the length of the hull, one at the front of the vehicle for the commander, and two in the roof hatches. The front two firing ports are designed for PK general-purpose machine guns. The remaining firing ports are designed for the AKM/ AK-74 assault rifles.

Easy Model Platinum Collection

The Easy Model "Platinum Collection" range presents highy-affordable, ready-made plastic models of military vehicles. While these models may not have the same "heft" as their diecast siblings, they do offer remarkable value for money. Most importantly, they look perfectly at home alongside diecast modes, allowing collectors to "flesh out" their collection with types and paint-schemes not yet available in diecast.

Easy Model "Platinum Collection" display military vehicles feature:

• Molded plastic construction.
• Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
• Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
