Title: More modern Soviet IFVs released!
Post by: Leon on 29 December 2022, 07:04:48 PM
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...

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...

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.

Inspired by Aero chocolate?

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
