SP Designs BREM-4 Resin conversion set
This model started out as a Dragon BMP2 kit,i used the lower half of the hull and the running gear.
The Brem4 kit came with a new hull top crane and ancillarys.this was an easy straight forward conversion as the top deck fitted perfect .i made some parts from wire and styrene and added a few fittings from the kit.

That's a very nice build and quite a rare one.
Looks fantastic!

What colours did you use on the BREM?

Love it Roy. The camo painting is fantastic, now an easy thing to do but you nailed.

That's a very nice looking model.

I'm interested in a couple of the SP Designs full kits, but I've never built a complete resin kit before. How is their quality as far as fit of parts / warpage / ease of building?

What a sweet build!
I still wish someone would release new tooling kits of the BMP-1 and 2 in 1/35...

oh, and listen to Jacques

Thanks for the reply, Roy!

They do have some unusual vehicles, and their prices are pretty reasonable.

This is one I'm interested in

SP-152 PPRU-1(9S80) Ovod-M-SV AA defence mobile control and reconnaissance post

any opinion on it?

hi hisham


if you purchase sp kits make sure they are new as they have been remastering a lot of there molds and his molding technique has also improved so the kits come with less warpage and less airbubbles,as you well know ,you get only what you payfor....not for beginners but worth the effort and time for something unusual,the MTLBU versions are good and build up well the brem 4 is very easy to build .I have all the kits from sp and build one up when i get boared with plastic kits or if i am up for a challenge


regards roy.





i have built this kit as the m version .there are pictures on this forum its the sborka and i have blogged the build on www.modelarmour.com ,take a look and make your own mind up,its not that bad to build but needs a lot of details adding to it .
