BRDM-2 23-4 "Flail" - Done !
« on: September 06, 2020, 11:39:32 AM »
In my ZSU thread I sort of mentioned that this might be worth a tilt


Found an old Modern Luchs turret and did a bit of surgury

Hmmm OK


But we need Ammo storage, lots and lots of storage, so added large boxes around the turret. Then asked myself how do you aim this thing. So retrieved the BRDM Gaskin compartment from the bin and worked that in. For better or worse.




Then tried this.. .uhhh ohhh... this look ok as well, plus probably more practical. Don't have a spare BTR but who knows, sometime later there maybe a turret swap. ;D

Oooh. This looked promising but the Luchs turret and other mods kicked it up into something really special  :-*

I have to admit it looks good on the BTR, but the BRDM with the Luch turret on steroids looks good! The BRDM would probably only have room for the driver and the commander - if there's a gunner for the guns, he's going to have a tough time getting out of the vehicle if you don't add a hatch to the turret. Maybe in the back?

Way cool!  8) Looks best on the BTR, I think.

Vanilla green looks very Soviet green, though. ;)


Excellent job, BT. Really looks the part! :smiley: :smiley:

The paintjob really pulls it together.  :smiley: Turret no longer seems outsized. Big, sure, but not overly so.

Nice color! The weathering is excellent and it doesn't look any more unusual than the original SA-9 Gaskin carrier.

It doesn't look very whiffy, and I mean that as the highest compliment.
