Stocks of Warpact APCs for my Little Cold Wars forces have been expanded lately with the acquisition of some BTR-60s. The example above was found on eBay and is a Soviet-era diecast in around 1/43 scale. Though arguably a slightly crude model it is clearly a BTR-60PB. The 'Guards' decal is a nice touch.
A further foray on the interwebnet yielded a further pair of '60s. These are the same basic models as above but with slight variations. But they are in mint condition. Indeed despite their age (Soviet era again) these were still sealed in their original boxes.
With this battalion-worth of BTRs assembled I'd better get some Motor Rifle troopers painted up!

I barely stopped myself from bidding on something very like this a month ago. Technically I'm not doing anything that would use them.....yet....

You teeter atop a slippery slope sir! Take a step forward.....
Quite a score! Youi never know what you might find until you look. I should think about that!
I thought that you chaps up there were putting Russia under sanction, not buying their mint wheeled APC's!
I gather your wife was in full agreement on the purchase?
I remember them from the early nineties in the dollar stores .still have a few somewhere.

You lucky fellow!
Extravagant military expansionism, no good will come of it ;)
Oh, I see, that's the intention of it all!

No good whatsoever. With any luck!
