Re: Trumpeter BRDM-2 NBC
Thanks Greg, Shawn and Chris
These vehicles have this odd and unique extra set of fording wheels...
They need painting before fitting.
And at last the end is nigh - tad after Chris
In truth I haven't used much of the ET etch set. I had thought I was going to use the light guards but they actually seem oversized and bending proved challenging (How Does Gary do it )
In the end I "thinned the plastic kit versions down considerably and then cut off the front vertical bars and replaced with some fine plastic rod.
And before the paint shop in a mark of true laziness I picked these up along the way
But more importantly - these will get used ...
I love theses SKP model offerings

I don't know how Gary does all the PE stuff either. I kind of hate him for it. Make me feel so insignificant when I work with PE.
Great progress by the way.

Re: Trumpeter BRDM-2 NBC
Paint looks good Rob.

You already completed one or two builds so it does not matter anyways.

Philipp,
DEF wheels come with wheel masks
Mighty fine work Rob, are there any lane markers to go on the rear? Makes mine look a tad boring.
