1/35 conversion into the Soviet BRM-1. Originally designed to be two vehicles: a dedicated
reconnaissance vehicle and a dedicated artillery scouting and observation vehicle. They were combined into the BRM-1. It has a laser rangefinder, a observation radar, and carries 2 observation crews (of 2) as well as a vehicle crew of 3. The turret was enlarged for its mission and was eventually the base for the BMP-2 turret.
This is the Trumpeter BMP-1 kit converted with a SP Designs kit. I 3D designed and printed the large telescoping antenna case over the rear doors as the one I had broke and scattered when dropped. (Uh oh…) It was finished in a late 1980’s cammo scheme from somewhere in Eastern Europe (I think in the GDR, but I am not sure). I have always wanted a kit of this and the PRP-3, and with the SP Designs conversions, I now have them. So much fun.
