Ukrainian BTR-82A Armored Personnel Carrier (6870710)

This ready-made Artitec model reproduces a Ukrainian-operated BTR-82A armored personnel carrier during the Russo-Ukrainian War. The eight-wheeled BTR-82A is a modernized development of the BTR-80 family, combining troop transport capability with a turret-mounted 30 mm automatic cannon and coaxial machine gun.

The model is finished primarily in weathered military green with highly visible Ukrainian identification features, including a blue-and-yellow national flag, white cross markings, and green field-applied tactical markings. Fine details include the open turret and crew hatches, long-barreled autocannon, smoke grenade launchers, external stowage, tow cables, side firing ports, engine-deck details, mirrors, headlights, and eight deeply treaded road wheels. Subtle dust, wear, and weathering give the vehicle an operational battlefield appearance.

Artitec's Ready-Made models are handcrafted from high-quality resin and produced in limited runs. Each model is expertly preassembled, hand-painted, and often subtly weathered to recreate the appearance of a real vehicle in use. Because every model is finished by hand, small variations may occur, making each piece unique.

Artitec uses vacuum-cast resin to reproduce exceptionally fine, true-to-scale details that can be difficult to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Etched-brass parts are added where appropriate to capture delicate components and further enhance realism.

Each model is assembled, painted, and weathered by skilled specialists—a process requiring considerable time, precision, and experience. Artitec Ready-Made models are ideal for collectors seeking exceptional detail and realism without the time and effort required to build and finish a model kit.
