Hello,
I am going to start a 1/35 BRDM kit. Does anyone know where I can find illustrations of the camo schemes used by the Angolans and Cubans during the bush war with the South Africans and Unita?
Thanks
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin, look this link of Angolan Military Museum (Museu Nacional de História Militar - Angola)

http://www.operacional.pt/museu-nacional-de-historia-militar-angola/

Very interesting!
I have several books about that conflict which may have pictures. "Last Hot Battle of the Cold War" was specifically about that conflict.

From the photos that I have seen from Angola during this time,all of the Angolan and Cuban BRDM-2s were a overall green with no markings or numbers.Nearly all of the Cuban trucks I have seen there have not carried no markings or numbers nether.

Here are some captured Angolan 9K31 Strela on display at the South African Air Force Museum, Swartkop :







Maybe the same camos can be used with a BRDM-2 (providing those above haven't been repainted )...

H.P.

Gentlemen, Many thanks for the information and links. Andre, thanks for the link to the Angolan museum, looks cool.

I was not able to locate my copy of "Last Hot Battle of the Cold War" but, did stumble across this one while searching. There was only one color photo of a BRDM and only one or two b&w images. As stated previously they appear to be in a single overall color.
