This product is dedicated to modelers who wish to recreate every detail of the Soviet NBC reconnaissance vehicle with exceptional precision and authenticity.

Historical Information

The Soviet NBC Detection Vehicle Type 82, also known as the BRDM-2RKh, was widely used by the USSR army and Warsaw Pact countries during the Cold War. Its task was to detect radioactive, chemical, and biological contamination on the battlefield. Models of this type took part in numerous military exercises and were also deployed in threat areas during armed conflicts. The vehicle was produced and used from the late 1960s until the collapse of the USSR and beyond, both in Eastern Europe and in the Middle East and Africa.

Due to the demanding technique of working with photo-etched parts, we recommend this product to those with existing experience in model building (difficulty level: 4 out of 5). The set will highlight all the details and authenticity of the replica, as well as emphasize the craftsmanship of the builder during model shows or in a home collection.
