After roughly two months, I’ve finally posted an update. This model isn’t something I was 100 % eager to make—honestly, I kept hoping someone else would tackle it, but since no one did, I went ahead and filled the gap myself.

My skills are limited, so there are bound to be flaws (for instance, the VTOL has a few unnecessary features). I’ll keep refining it as best I can. The 2A28 gun comes from suk024’s BMP-1, and the base hull is yasax’s BTR-82A—both of them are miles ahead of me technically.

Now, about the vehicle itself. It’s from an anime-style game I’ve been following lately (no idea if you’ve heard of it). During the dev team’s first livestream they showed an interior diagram; naturally, I’m nowhere near reproducing that level of detail. Essentially the thing is a BTR ridden backwards, yet the side doors remain. Quoting the devs: “We stripped away most of the BTR flavor, but we kept the side doors so you can still tell it’s a BTR.” Right now it mounts the 2A28 cannon, but the team says future upgrades could swap in a 2A42, 2A72, even a 2A46.

The turret looks a bit odd because this configuration is new to me—think of it as an experiment. A friend told me the hull seems too long; I kind of agree, but it’s still basically a BTR-82A (almost the same length as the real one). I modeled it straight from the game’s chibi style—every vehicle and character there is super-deformed—so treat the proportions as reference only.

By the way, this introduction was run through AI—my own English is too shaky to describe the thing properly—so some nuance is bound to have been lost in translation.
