Does anyone know of someone that makes an aftermarket set of tires for the DML BRDM-2 to replace the vinyl ones provided with the kit? I believe I saw a review of some on here once but can’t seem to find it now.

Thanks,
Daniel

Lucky you...
My new MMiR #38 just arrived with the Airconnection ad opposite the table of contents.
Hussar makes 2 sets one for the Soviet and one for the polish. The ad text does not say if they are for the -2 however.

Also one of the Tiger model companies... Tiger Model Designs makes a set.

I recomend the Tiger Model Designs wheels. I have them and they look perfect. Not sure about the others.

Also, I think Panzershop put some wheels out.

Thanks for the quick responses. Would any of these sets be suitable for a BRDM-2 in service with the iraqi army?

Also Trakz (VLS) just came out with a set of BRDM wheels.

And yes, all of the wheel sets should be Iraqi-friendly! :-)
