As soon as I saw the PTE Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV), I saw it as a Russian BTR for the Oktober Guard. I know there are several customs out there, so here is my interpretation.
Since the Joe Con "Operation: Bear Trap" set from last year had a winter theme, I figured I would repaint it with a winter camouflage. I spray painted it, using an olive drab base and painted on the "stripes" in gloss white. I wanted it to look warn and faded with the camo pattern, like it had been in operation in the Russian tundra for some time. I added some of my own, minimal custom stickers and here is the finished product. I am doing a winter diorama with the OG, Iron Grenadiers, Joes, and Cobras and I'll post those later in another section. The Oktober Guard бронетранспортер (BTR or Armored Transport): Horror Show covering the rear of the column with the anti-tank ordinance: Red Star driving the supply truck: Stormavik pilots the chopper for Soviet air support:

It's the PTE or World Peacekeepers IFV from Big Lots...$20. I almost bought it at Big Bad Toy Store for almost twice the amount.
