Does anyone have drawings or pictures of the air-droppable platform that BMD-1 (airborne infantry combat vehicle) stands on when being dropped with parachutes.

Best Bet is Concord's book on the Russian VDV. They have shots fo the pallet system, the system in use, including the retro-rockets.

There are several pictures in the Concord book on the Soviet Paras, but not enough to really model from unfortunatley.
I'm at work w/o the book # or isbn. If it would be heplful, drop me a PM and I'll dig it up.
