1/35 Ural Rocket Guntruck

Main structure of the BRDM's hull is ready.

Man, ain't that strange! Where did you get that photo? Good luck with your build, have a nice day

I got this picture from my friend, who knows, that I'm addicted to unusual constructions :>

Now that´s a fun project! I can literally see the enemy commander saying ´Huh?´ seeing this thing rolling up the hill^^ 

This looks like a seriously fun scratchbuild of a truly unique subject. I look forward to seeing further progress!

side sights.. small but time-consuming

..and more details

KFS-miniatures

OK, now that is different!

This is going to be sweet.

Can't wait!

Definitely qualifies as a unique subject, the scratch work is coming along nicely.

thank you

minor modifications of the sights

You're an artist.  Saw some of your work over at the InScale site.  Very impressive.

thanks Mike!

Very interesting vehicle, nice work so far!

thanks

rear doors and more details

Leave it to the Russians...

Will be watching this one with interest. Just out of curiosity, do you plan to use the Ural kit tires? From what I recall they're grossly undersized, and the tread pattern may have been off as well.

Love the fact that we're seeing more Russian cold war subjects on this forum finally.

I'm going to rework tires from the kit and cast them in resin. there are two reasons: first of all, rubber used by ICM and Alanger causes damages of styrene (plastic parts melting down). Second reason is a poor quality of tire's details..

first attempt to the turret

slowly forward..

..but still turret's shape is not correct

 Grinding of turret now is complete, so I've started working on details

some details on BRDM's hull added

I was going to use launcher from Trumpeter's kit.. but it's failed. Dimensions and shapes are incorrect

..so i have to prepare for another scratchwork

You are doing outstanding work.  Will be very intresting to see your scratch launcher!   I like it all and will be waiting for the next update.

There are a few aircraft kits that have many options for Soviet ordinance, maybe someone can send you a rocket launcher like the one pictured.

The resent release of the 1/32 scale 'Frog foot' is one that has many extra offensive gear, it would be a lot easier than scratch building the multiple launcher. It could be turned & sanded to change the OD from 1/32 scale to 1/35 scale.

Regardless interesting conversion!

Reminds me of the recent news footage showing a 'Technical' or rebel Sudanese 4x4 Toyota sporting the same rocket system rigged to the truck box.

I'm going to rework this plastic part (btw, it is 1/35 launcher from Trumpeter's Mi-24). It will be just time-consuming..

Seems like a lot of work yet I know you can get the inaccurate part whipped sanded, puttied & modified into shape!

If you do not mind waiting I am sure someone has the correct launcher in their stash and would mail it out.

Regardless its one bad (mean) looking truck! Only the Vietnam 6x6 with quad .50 calibers looks as cool.

drilling, drilling, drilling, drilling, drilling, drilling, drilling....

and more holes..
