The BTR-90, developed in the early 90s, is an improved and larger version of the BTR-80 vehicle, fitted with a BMP-2 turret. It has a better armoured protection and the armement of the BMP-2 and, with its two water jet propellers, is fully amphibious. Only limited number of the vehicle have been produced, the Russian Army choosing in its place the BTR-82A, cheaper and easer to produce and more advanced still. Some of BTR-90 produced have been seen in the field in Ukraine.
The exquisite 3D printed model is from the excellent Turbo Studio. As the variant proposed was equipped with a BMP-2M turret, I made a BMP-2 turret with bits and parts from my spare box and some Green stuff, and also remade the engine cover to the more common version. The very nice figures are from White Stork Miniatures and I hope that they will make other modern vehicles crew in the future.
