I very like unusual and prototype vehicles. This one fits to this definition well:



Ural4320 with a part of BRDM's hull on a trunk, with UB-32-57 rocket launcher mounted on its turret.. delicious

I started with BRDM's hull. It is made with 3mm styrene

this must be the weirdest field mod I've come across in a long time, great use of "spare" parts!

I think I saw something similar stuck on the back of an MT-LB once! Always fascinated me, as does this.

I'm looking forward to this one Kamil, good luck!

What kit are you using for the Ural?

thanks
this conversion will be dedicated to ICM/Alanger kit, which, as far as I know, is available now from Revell (the same kit)

Why do I always see this frog inside an ice cube when anyone posts a pic from imageshack?

maybe it's due some restrictions of imageshack or yours internet provider?


Main structure of the BRDM's hull is ready.

The cabin roof of the truck in your refference photo does not match the one you are using as a base.

The "rocket launcher" appears to be a Hydra. I imagine it would be dificult to find in 1/35 and not be affordable.

cool build, and some clean schratch building, did you make a copy of that oval hatch on the side, or did you scratch it?

These guntruck was used by Soviet troops in Afghanistan 1987 to protect convoys moved through the valleys and ravines. rocket launchers have been better for the firing of its high edges.
This guntrucks were nicknamed "broom'
