That was in the initial feature set, but we have removed it due to multiple large components and takes up too much sprue space. However, we might do a resin conversion kit for it when the RSO is released.
Yes please.
Yes please.

60 current operators, 18 former operators, 38 conflicts
Thank you for asking me to put forward suggestions for decal choices. Before I do I'd like to mention that I have been a wargamer and modeller for 59 years so I have a pretty good handle on both hobbies and their participants. Whilst I understand that there are gamers who fixate on one subject for the whole of their gaming life (must recreate the Waffen SS on a one to one basis) there are also a lot of gamers who get bored with their current obsession and are constantly looking for something new or pursuing the latest trend and a lot more gamers happily inbetween these extremes. With this info in mind, and knowing that Rubicon like a bit of innovation I submit the following for your consideration;
First we have a list of conflicts in which the BTR took part. I have annotated those which I think may be the most popular, therefore the best choices for decals.
List of conflicts
1955–1975 – Vietnam War (North Vietnam) Already a given
1966–1991 – South African Border War (Angola, Cuba) T-34, T-55, Comet, Centurion
1967 – Six-Day War (Egypt, Syria) T-34, T-55, Centurion, Halftrack, Sherman
1968 – Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia
1969 – Sino-Soviet border conflict (Soviet Union)
1973 – Yom Kippur War (Egypt, Syria) T-34, T-55, Centurion, Halftrack
1974–1991 – Ethiopian Civil War
1961–1991 – Eritrean War for Independence
1975–1990 – Lebanese Civil War
1975–1991 – Western Sahara War (Polisario)
1975–2002 – Angolan Civil War
1977–1978 – Ogaden War
1978–1987 – Chadian–Libyan conflict
1979–1988 – Soviet–Afghan War (Soviet, Afghan) Given ?
1980–1988 – Iran–Iraq War (Iran, Iraq) Given ?
1982 – 1982 Ethiopian–Somali Border War
1983 – Invasion of Grenada (Grenada)
1988–1993 – Georgian Civil War
1992–1993 – War in Abkhazia
1988–1994 – First Nagorno-Karabakh War (Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia, Azerbaijan)
1989 – Romanian Revolution (Romania)
1990–1991 – First Persian Gulf War (Iraq)
1991–present – Somali Civil War
1991–1999 – Yugoslav wars
1992–1997 – Civil War in Tajikistan
1993 – present – Kurdish–Turkish conflict (Turkey)
1994 – Civil War in Yemen
1994–1996 – First Chechen War (Russia)
1999–2009 – Second Chechen War (Russia)
2001–2016 – War in Afghanistan
2003–2011 – Iraq War
2003 – Invasion of Iraq (Iraq)
2011 – Libyan Civil War (Gaddafi and Anti-Gaddafi forces)
2011–present – Syrian civil war (Government forces and rebels)
2014–present – War in Donbass (Ukraine and Pro-Russian rebel forces)
2020 – 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
These would be among my suggestions for the initial decals. I have also noted the availability of other Rubicon kits already out there.
Type Soviet BTR-60PA/B APC into Wiki and it will show that 60 nations still use the APC and 18 others used to.
"Build it and they will come"
Hope this helps.
