ScaleX BTR-80 APC "KI-113" Weighted Wheel Set 1:35 For Trumpeter 1:35 Model Kits

3D-Printed KI-113 Weighted Wheel Set for BTR-80 by Trumpeter

To make your BTR-80 model look as realistic as possible, we created a set of 3D-printed wheels in two versions: Ordinary and Weighted. This set features KI-113 tires, widely used on BTR-80 vehicles during different periods of service. Thanks to their distinctive tread pattern and sidewall shape, these wheels are suitable for both combat and training configurations.

Maximum Accuracy and Realism

During development, we analyzed numerous photos, technical documents, and available physical samples to precisely reproduce:

• the proportions of the KI-113 tire
• the geometry of the wheel rim
• the texture and form of the tread
• the characteristic sidewall deformation in the Weighted version

Photopolymer 3D printing delivers a level of sharpness and detail that standard rubber or molded kit parts cannot achieve: crisp tread edges, thin structural elements, accurate mounting surfaces, and a highly realistic wheel stance.

Protection Caps Included

All ScaleX BTR-80 wheel sets include protective wheel caps for each wheel.
They can be installed or left off, giving you more freedom to replicate different field or operational conditions.

Set Advantages

• Authenticity: precise reproduction of KI-113 tires used on BTR-80 vehicles in various years.
• Two wheel styles: Ordinary — for clean, parade, or showroom builds / Weighted — for dioramas where the weight and load of the vehicle should be visible
• Protection caps: add configuration variety and match real-life vehicle setups.
• High detail: crisp tread, sidewall textures, and accurate rim geometry.
• 3D-printing quality: smooth surfaces and fine elements that take paint, weathering, and effects exceptionally well.

These KI-113 wheels will enhance the technical realism of your model and significantly improve the appearance of any completed BTR-80 build.

BTR-80 — Soviet Armored Personnel Carrier

The BTR-80 is an 8×8 armored personnel carrier introduced in the late 1980s. Combining high mobility, crew protection, and ample internal space, it served in transport, reconnaissance, and combat support roles. Typical armament includes a heavy machine gun and auxiliary observation and communication systems.

One of the most widely used wheeled APCs in the world, the BTR-80 remains an iconic vehicle of late-Cold-War engineering.
Our DT-126 Snaga wheel sets bring an authentic finishing touch to your model, enhancing its realism and technical accuracy.
