Building this anti-aircraft gun is more like building a truck. The chassis is mostly made of plates. However, these do not form a stable base at the beginning. Since there is an interior, the partially thin walls do not provide any stability to the model. Only later, when these are built over, does the truck become reasonably stable. I don’t really want to build this model with earlier bricks from Sluban, but the quality has improved significantly in recent years. The barrels of the launcher can be moved individually, just like the original. Many of the details of the original have been implemented. Unfortunately, Sluban no longer uses the good transfer stickers. Instead, they use normal transparent stickers, which often cover entire bricks.

BTR-80

Manufacturer:Sluban
Set-No:B1251
Theme:Military
Release:2024
Parts:610
Figures:4
Size:23 x 9 x 9 cm
Scale:1:35
Age:8
Building time ca.:2,5 Stunden

This model also has a complete interior, including an engine. A base is therefore made from plates, which is then framed with bricks. For a scale of 1:35, the model has quite a lot of detail. The shapes of the original were captured quite well, without the use of molded parts. Many areas are first built separately and then attached to the model. The covers are attached with either few or no studs, so that they can be removed quickly. A special feature are the two turrets of the 2in1 model. You don’t have to choose one variant here, you can build both. All the parts are included. In earlier models, the first turret had to be dismantled again because you needed the parts for the second one. Unfortunately, the many details make this model a little fragile. It doesn’t fall apart immediately when you pick it up, but it’s probably not very suitable for playing. Also included are 4 figures and numerous stickers.

BMD-2

Manufacturer:Sluban
Set-No:B1250
Theme:Military
Release:2024
Parts:530
Figures:3
Size:17 x 8 x 9 cm
Scale:1:35
Age:8
Building time ca.:2 Stunden

The last model in this series is the smallest and consists of just 530 parts. The hull looks tiny at first and then grows a little with various add-on parts at the front and rear. It is also the only model with tracks. These are very loose but run surprisingly well. As with the other two models, stickers have to be attached here too. Sluban does not have any prints. However, all the parts for 2 turrets are included. There are also 3 figures and a built drone.

Conclusion:

Despite the small scale and relatively few parts, the models look very good. They are hard to beat in terms of price. Thanks to the authentic shapes and many details, some collectors might also be interested in these vehicles.
