hay all started this build yesterday this is going to be a out of box build. I have to say that Trumpeter really did a great job with this kit it has a full interior and the wheels are well done (pic later). all redmarks are were you have to fill or remove details hope you'll like





























this last one is for a size I did not realize how big this afv was





dave

hay all have quick question were the brdm-2 used in 1968 Czech if so dose any one have any pics thanks
dave

Hi David;

No ! The BRDM-2 came out too late.
The only Wheeled Vehicles that you see are the BRDM,& 152 truck. Im sure there are others, but I haven't seen much in the way of pictures of the Soviet Invasion.

CHEERS; MIKE.

They were there. The BRDM-2 came out in 1962. This is the only pic I have of one.





And Bison has markings for one in a set they just put out http://www.bison-decals.com/35207.html

Hi,

your BRDM looks very nice so far. But i think you should add the handle on top of the heavy machine gun. At the moment i'm building a trumpeter btr-70 and it's missing there too. It seems that trumpeter simply forgot this detail on all machine guns of this type.

Nice work David.As for the color, if you will use filters etc, go for the flat green as those will darken it. Still i would suggest, if i may, that you get a 4BO, since it has a shade of its own. Either way looking forward to see it painted.

hay all i went with the light green last night hope to have some pic up in a day or two thannks for the imput

color is XF62 whit little part XF67.

Viktor

Very promising build!

Out of curiosity, what brand of green putty is that? Looks to be very malleable.

koalorka it is combo of squadron green putty and lacquer thiner and Testors Liquid Cement it works great drys quick and you can us it for a filler or even make weld seams
try it
dave

hay all small up date I'm trying some panel fading for the first time























thanks all dave

Paint looks great. How's the build been so far? Anything to look out for?
-Seth

Great paintwork Dave, this project is coming along real nice!

thanks all, seth you have to watch the way the pails line up I had a lot of gaps
dave

Cool, I would like to do a BRDM-2 the same way you are doing yours. I like the way they look with the recognition stripes.
-Seth

Coming along nicely. I particularly like your work on the turret edges and the white recognition stripes came out really sharp.

I think that early type BRDM-2's did not have turret periscope.
Trumpeter did very nice job indeed.
Nice work except some glue marks here and there.

hay all thanks for the coments i should have an out date this weekend i do have a question i'm going to palce two figures with this and i would like to know what color the unaforms were ???
thanks dave
