The BTR-80 is now ready for primer and as I got the last details done on the turret. I did replace the coax gun on the turret with a sheet stock barrel as the one in the kit was a little warped. I will leave off the windshield hatches until later.

Thanks so much, guys, and sorry for the late response. Had a busy week and getting caught up in here. I made some progress on the BTR and I know it is rare to see one intact here lately but this is what they look like altogether. I applied Mission Models Modern Russian Army Green for the top coat and the paint laid down really well. (as opposed to burnt orange, soot and charcoal gray). This layer is just the green, as I have not applied any post shading yet but making some progress.
