BRDM-2

[jknaus]

After a few days (early mornings) work here I am. Vallejo Black Primer inside. When dry a white coat.

For some reason I shaved off the pneumatic? / Hydraulic? lines and added lead wire. To be joined to the wheel when finished.

I dont know what I am going to paint yet. Have a neat picture of a Mali version from a few weeks ago, but not enough to know what markings it has. Bought some Deep Green to do a Russian one so maybe subconsciously that is my plan. Really want to do a NBCD vehicle, but not enough pictures / plans of the early version to make brackets and flags. Anyone who has some good pics of something colourful by all means post. I actually even considered a Syrian police vehicle, but that would be brutal to paint..

So it looks like everything in the hull is green while everything above the hull is white. Thanks for saving me from a big oops. I've spent a week looking for BRDM pics and 90% seem to be models. Funny how it is so hard to find for such a common vehicle. Much appreciated Saul.

Okay now this has to be photo shopped. I do like the last one, but thats a UM so now I have a reason to buy the UM version. The Police one looks interesting, but finding markings would be hard. If I am to finish this I will probably have to build a plain jane one or I might get too into details and fail once again to complete. Really appreciate all the pics though Saul.

James, because of all the details, like the blown out glass, I am not so sure. I do find it interesting that the bottom of the turret doesn't show any details. I need to see if this is from a movie.

As for the UM, look closer. There is a turret under a white tarp.

You're evil :evil: I love it. Okay that looks like a fun paint scheme.

Somehow I totally missed these pics. Some I had which gave me the idea in the first place. The bottom ones really help. I think I can make those. Thanks a ton Saul. Something to wprk with tonight. Appreciate it.

This is a snap shot from the movie the 9th company, A Russian movie about an Aborne Company in Afghanistan, simular to Platoon. You can find the movie on YouTube, its in Russian with english subtitles. My wife hates the movie. I love it as they are using real Russian kit and filmed in one of the friendlier stans. The actual sence is near the end of the movie when the relieve colume gets shot up.

Slow but sure. Decided I just want to finish so buttoning up and doing almost oob.

Will gather more info and another kit to build the NBC vehicle because it intrigues me. But right now I just want to finish one.
