You can find a great walkaround here

http://dishmodels.ru/wshow.htm?p=2489

I thank a lot Andrej Alekseev aka Kamchatka, to have shared it and Dishmodels site to have posted

As you can notice the exemplar has starfish wheels...



I wonder if it is due to a museum restauration or if it were possible that some operative exemplars could carry that kind of wheels

Cheers and thanks for any reply about

Thanks Mauro,
this is the kind of modern stuff I'd love to see in plastic.

So would I Olivier!

I've been collecting references about the t-72 BREM-1 for quite a while. I know that there is some resin model of it, but I'd like to scratch build it using some parts of my old DML T-72 kit.

Any opinion about the wheels?

Mauro, to be honest this is the first time I've seen this kind of mounting.
All the pictures I have show the standard T-72 wheels with 6 or 8 spokes.
If I'm correct, the rubber "tires" are thinner than on the standard T-55/62 wheels. I don't see the need of such a modification for a display vehicle.

Yes you're right! I haven't noticed that detail...rubber tyres are thinner



So maybe who has made the restoration fitted some modified t-55 wheels to this exemplar. Maybe because the original wheels were unavailable or deeply damaged. Me too, I've never seen BREM ARV with starfish wheels

Thank you

Cheers
