BTR-152v3 (mg sand channel)

BTR-152v3 (mg sand channel) miniature, depicting the late variant of the Soviet 6×6 armored personnel carrier equipped with a roof-mounted machine gun and externally mounted sand channels. Introduced in the early 1960s, the v3 version featured a central tire inflation system (CTIS) for better off-road performance, as well as an armored roof with hatches to protect its crew and passengers. The combination of added firepower and field equipment made this configuration highly practical for operations in rough or desert terrain. Widely used by Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces and exported to allied nations, this model is an excellent choice for Cold War–era dioramas, wargaming scenery, or military vehicle collections in multiple scales.
