Borbeno izviđačko oklopno vozilo koje je razvijeno u Gorkovskom Automobilskom Zavodu, poznatijem po skraćenici GAZ u nekadašnjem Sovjetskom Savezu. Proizvođeno je u periodu od 1964. pa do 1989. godine.
Proizvođeno je u raznim verzijama za različite namene i koristile su ga mnoge armije širom sveta. Jedna od zemalja korisnica bila je i bivša Jugoslavija.
Pokreće ga benzinski osmocilindrični GAZ-41 motor. Maksimalna brzina je 95 km/h.
Na sredini sa svake strane vozila smešten je po jedan uvlačeći pomoćni točak, koji sluzi za kretanje po mekim terenima. Vozilo takođe ima i amfibijska svojstva.
Oklop i zaštita vozila su efikasni protiv lakog naoružanja i gelera artiljerijske eksplozije.
Osnovno naoružanje ovog vozila je mitraljez KPVT 14,5mm.
BRDM-2 je prošao mnoge modernizacije i izmene, a sve da bi se povećala njegova borbena vrednost i produžio upotrebni vek, tako da se i danas koristi u mnogim zemljama širom sveta.
Zvezdina nova maketa je zapravo prepak Dragonove makete iz 1991. godine, što nikako ne umanjuje kvalitet iste.

Na ramovima se nalaze 124 dela u svetlo sivoj plastici. Na prvi pogled sve deluje vrlo fino urađeno i izliveno bez viškova plastike sa strane. Skromno i bez puno detalja, ali se u aftermarket ponudi može naći mnogo toga, pa ko kako više voli. Naročito su interesantni setovi dekala i oznaka iz ratova 90-ih sa prostora bivše Jugoslavije.
Šema bojenja i označavanja u kutiji sa maketom, daje čak pet opcija za rad, što se može videti na priloženim fotografijama uz recenziju. Boje su date po Zvezdi i Tamiji.
Sastavnica je vrlo pregledna i nije pretrpana.
Deluje da će ovo biti jedna vikend uživancija, ali više o tome kada počnem sa radom. Ceo tok izrade možete pratiti na našoj fejs stranici na linku: https://www.facebook.com/ScaleModelsClubNoviSad

Preporučujem ovu maketu svim maketarima!
Zahvaljujemo se Zvezdi na ustupljenoj maketi za recenziju.

Armored fighting reconnaissance vehicle that was developed in Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ) in ex-Soviet Union. This vehicle was produced between 1964 and 1989.
It was produced in many different versions and for different purpose, used by many armies around the world. One of the users was former Yugoslavia.
The vehicle is driven by eight cylinder petrol GAZ-41 engine. Top speed of the vehicle is 95 km/h. At the middle of the vehicle on the each side there is an additional retractable wheel, used when the vehicle is moving on the soft terrain. Vehicle also has amphibian options.
Armor and protection are efficient against light weapons and shell fragments. Main weapon is the 14,5 mm machine gun.
BRDM-2 was a subject of a number of changes and modernizations, in order to increase the vehicle combat value and to extend its lifetime, all of which resulted in the vehicle still being used today.
Zvezda new model is actually a repack of older Dragon kit from 1991 which doesn’t decrease its quality.
There are 124 light-grey parts on the trees. Upon first inspection all seems good, without flash around the model parts. There is no much detail but there are a lot of aftermarket sets and parts available, so everyone to his/her liking. 90’s wartime decals and markings can be rather interesting.
Paint scheme and instruction sheet give five different options in marking the vehicle, which can be seen from the photo. Paints are given in Zvezda and Tamiya codes. Instructions are easy to follow.
As it seems this should be one easy over-the-weekend build, but the final verdict is due when I start the assembly. All the process can be followed on our Facebook page on the following link:

I would recommend this model to all modelers.
We would like to thank Zvezda for providing the model for this review.
