Z(3) BTR-80 with PELENA-6BS-F jammer (Russia)

Third essay in Z modelling: the venerable BTR-80 APC, in service starting in 1985, but here with a plus, the PELENA-6BS-F IED-jammer, a system extensively used during the 2nd the Chechen war but now being replaced by the more modern RP-377VM1.

I cheated a little on this one because the model is actually the Easy Models, and therefore already assembled. A few upgrades and a new paint job...and voila! The PELENA is scratchbuild. Pretty happy with the overall result.
