Cambodian BRDM-2

[smolensk]

I had this half mounted model on my shelf for like 20 years. It took me a lot of time to figure how set up the model, even thinking about a police version. I was almost sure about a Ethiopian version when I stumbled upon the Cambodian one with the recoilless rifle; and i ended to choose the 75mm between that and the 57mm one.

I tried to paint the camo and to repair the front axle wich was damaged in moving.

Very nice camo job! Is that free-handed, or masked?

[smolensk]

I made by hand but i’m not full satisfy

[smolensk]

some elements need a little make up

I’ve seen a picture on an M706 in Laos service that has a pattern that looks similar. Wayne

Cambodian army was used to upgrade BDRM with a recoilless gun, russian or chianese copy

new painting (to obtain less german style camo)

New self-made decals and a recoilless rifle fitted.

I consider the model finished; your comments are always welcome.
