Can anybody identify this tank?


I came across this picture while doing some research on a russian webiste. They have it labled as a BMP which Im pretty sure is not correct. I do know it's on a modified T-55 chasis and used in Afghanistan. It also looks like the structure was taken from some sort of JSU or possible ASU, there looks like a gun port of the front welded over.

Hi Christopher

We've already talked about it

here

We've posted some other pics

It could be a BMR1, but unfortunately there are few photos on the net

OOPS sorry had no clue this already talked about, should of looked further into the postings. But thanks anyways

sorry? Why sorry? No problem at all

I'm just trying to dig up as much info on this tank as possible, but don't want to start multiple postings on something already talked about. I starting a series of russian-afghan project and looking for diferent ideas. I'm getting tired of seeing the usual M1 and hummers and tigers and decided to dive back into my favorite subject of modern russian armor, But now I have some sort of idea of what to call this tank. Thanks Mauro

Heres a quite good build of it http://dishmodels.ru/gshow.htm?p=9152

Sweet, that's going to help once I start building one

I've found some other references

I don't know, likely in russian modeller sites there are others pics.
I'll try to look at and if i find some other info i'll let you know

cheers

BMR.
R looks like P in Cyrillic. I think the mine roller is a KMT-2 or 3

KMT-7, you can get one from Mig Productions:

I already have 3 KMT-7's in my stash, one for my T-62 I'm about to start, one reserved for the BMR when I get around to it and the other.......who knows what

in another couple weeks they are going to pull the one i took pics of out of the field. i will be there with measuring tape and camera in hand

Chris,
do a search on Missing Lynx Modern DG ,I posted a few things about the BMR in the past as I've started on one and a modeler named Zack Sex is working on one as well. By the way, how is your 62 with the bar armor and KMT-6 coming along?

P.S.
the most recent thread I was thinking of was in constructive comments

Thanks for the heads up
My 62 to coming along slow, I'm using it as a master to cast parts from it. I'm starting another 62 at this moment that I will be using the cast for and again will be along the same lines as my first one. I manage to find a website that has really good shot of the slat armor, so in the process I be doing some revisions.

Mike, are you referring to the one let on BAF? I never could figure out what the hell that was.
