To go with my new T-55s I have some BTR-40 APCs. This version is the BTR-40B reconnaisance vehicle which has an armoured roof in place of the open-topped troop carrier version.

M_bergmann is responsible for these lovely models too and I can highly recommend them.

These have the same colour scheme as the T-55s.

| Left side. |
There are a few extra details to pick out such as the pioneer tools on the sides and the fuel can on the rear.
 |
| Right side. |
Headlights were added in silver in this instance. The exhaust under the right side was painted in suitably rusty burnt umber & burnt sienna.

| Front and rear views. |
2 or 3 more and I'll have sufficient transport for a unit of infantry. M_bergmann has also produced the BTR-40A with twin machine guns which could add some fire support to the unarmed versions.
Nice looking models and love that paint!
