I'm looking to do the new Miniart BMR-1 Mine clearing vehicle, but there are very few pictures of the actual vehicle out there. A few black and whites from their use in Afghanistan in the 1980s but no other detail and close ups. Would anyone out there have some better reference photos or sources on this vehicle?
Thanks

Hi;

As of this date there is not A lot of reference on the BMR-1 ! other than what you have already found in B/W photos. And are you talking about the Trumpy kit ? As I have not seen that Miniart has A BMR-1 !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hi;

AAAAAHHHH ! THANKS ROBIN !! Yea; This would be one of those "Must Have's" --- this vehicle was another one of those Enigma type's, as there is just not A lot of Info on them. Even in my many reference Books on Soviet vehicles they are hardly even Shown !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Here are some Ukrainian BMR-1's used by the UNIFIL in Lebanon :









I guess these are from Ukraine (but the mine roller appears to be a later model though...) :

There we go Henri, that's great! That will help.

Thank you!

Yea its pretty obscure vehicle. Just not a lot of information on it

Two more from Ukraine :





I guess the mine roller pictured in the Ukraine pics is the KMT-9...

Here's a good view of a BMR-1 fitted with a KMT-7 mine roller in Afghanistan :
