Introduced in the 1950s by the Soviet design bureaus, the BRDM-1 improved reconnaissance reach with its amphibious ability and four-wheel drive. The kit reflects those functional traits with molded components that echo the original vehicle's engineering and operational use.

Assembly and Finished Display

This kit is best approached by hobbyists with some prior assembly experience, as small detailed parts and careful gluing are required to get clean joins.
Both acrylic and enamel paints adhere well after a light wash and primer. Use a primer formulated for PS plastic to improve paint grip and surface finish.
There are limited aftermarket sets for the BRDM-1, but you can enhance realism with fine-detail paint techniques, weathering pigments, and custom rigging to match reference photos.
