More modern Soviet IFVs released!

[Leon]

As we get to the end of a very productive year we've got time for one last batch of releases, with an assortment of BMP/BRDM/BTR-60 options now available!

Firstly we've got some more BMP variants with the BMP-1P (AT-5 missiles), BRM-1K (recce), BMP-2 (30mm cannon upgrade), BMP-2D (applique armour) and BREM-2 (recovery vehicle). 

Following on is the wheeled BRDM-2 amphibious vehicle which is still in service today with over 7000 manufactured.  We've got the regular (BRDM-2) and command versions available (BRDM-2U), as well as the 9P148 with the AT-5 missile launcher pod. 

And finally we've added the BTR-60 with over 25,000 produced from 1960 onwards.  We've got 4 variants here: PA (12.7mm machine gun), PB (14.5mm turreted MG), 1V18/19 (artillery command and forward observer vehicle) and the R-145 (communication vehicle).

Next up in the vehicle schedule will be some British kit...

Glad to see you up and doing Leon


Definitely need some of those BTR60s!

And BMP2s!

[fsn]

Oooh! And a couple of those cute little BRMD2s!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Wow!

[toxicpixie]

Very nice!

I might have to supplement my forces with some...

Cheeky ask, but any plans for a T-12/MT-12 Rapira ATG? Or anyone got good suggestions for a proxy...

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Good stuff - but no BRDM 2 AT3 Sagger ?

Been looking at some references materials for these vehicles. Gosh! They've been around and had some very striking colour schemes. 


BTR-60 of the Afghan-Northern Alliance with its specific, rare camouflage.

Inspired by Aero chocolate?


Afghan modified BRDM-2 with an aircraft-type rocket launcher mounted top of the turret

What is there in Afghanistan that looks like this?



Be a good subject for the painting competition.

It's in the designer's catalogue so definitely something we can schedule in.  For the time being I think the BS-3 gun with the shield from the D-20 is about the closest proxy I can think of?  https://www.pendraken.co.uk/soviet-union-1087-c.asp

That one's not on his lists so we'd need to have it made from scratch.

That looks quite workable... I'll see if I can shake a little cash loose for that and pop a special request in!

No just the "Turret" - use the BRDM3 hull

BTR60s!  Lawks these are lovely models.

[Raider4]

Ahh, those look lovely.

[Leon]

Very nice work on those!

[fsn]

Thank you.   

Like I say, lovely bits of kit.


Need to get those T62s done and then ... to the table!
