Description

The BTR-40 (БТР, from Бронетранспортер, or Bronetransporter, literally "armoured transporter".†) is a Soviet non-amphibious, wheeled armoured personnel carrier and reconnaissance vehicle. It is often referred to as the Sorokovka in Soviet service. It is also the first mass-produced Soviet APC. It was eventually replaced in the APC role by the BTR-152 and in the scout car role by the BRDM-1.

The People's Republic of China (PRC), had developed a copy of the BTR-40 called the Type 55. It is unknown how many of these vehicles entered service with the PLA. The vehicle was also exported to North Korea, as part of a military assistance programme during the Korean War, where it saw combat for the first time.

This vehicle has 3 variants. One for strictly APC role where passengers can shoot out of the gunports. Another version is packing a single DSHK HMG. The version pictured is the LMG variant with SGM machine guns on 3 of the pintle mounts. We also have planned an Anti-Aircraft version.

Credits: From the IDF: FFI mod. Illness88 made the model while his brother Gizoo did the main textures. Nadvgia from BfKorea edited the texture slightly to give it proper North Korean color.
