BTR-60

Roskopf BTR-60.
It is the open early top version.
The main machine gun is the same one Roskopf uses on all their Russian vehicles.  Which I like since they are supposed to be the same gun.  I think Roco makes 20 different .50 caliber M2 machine guns.
Interior detail is limited but good enough.
The bottom is nicely detailed, which is rather strange I think.
Nice comfy seating for the crew.

    This model of the early version is a really nice one. Not that anyone can tell the difference from 'H0' but I think Roskopf made their models to 1:90 scale.

    The Roskopf line, like Roco, made small models that eventually seemed to have bumped up to actual 1/87 scale at some point. However, the BTR 60 is the same size made by Permit, or maybe Plasticart, two old Soviet Bloc companies, they made stuff in 1/87, and it's the same size as the Roskopf. However the Permit / Plasticart BTR 50 is substantially larger than the Roskopf.
