BRDM-2 Sagged Wheel Set

3D-Printed Wheel Set (Sagged) for BRDM-2 by Trumpeter

To make your BRDM-2 model truly convincing, we conducted in-depth research on the real armored vehicle’s wheels — studying reference photos, blueprints, and available samples. This allowed us to recreate them with exceptional accuracy: every detail, curve, and irregularity reflects the real-life design.

Thanks to 3D printing, we achieved a level of detail that simply isn’t possible with traditional rubber wheels. The result? A noticeably more realistic effect on your finished model — a lifelike appearance, a sense of mass and weight, and highly detailed tread and sidewall textures.

This is more than just a parts upgrade — it’s a new level of realism that makes your model look like a true miniature replica of the BRDM-2 armored vehicle.

Spare Wheel

Installing the spare wheel is optional.
It’s most commonly mounted on the turret, secured with cables through dedicated eyelets located on the turret itself. In some versions, it may also be fixed to the rear of the hull.

BRDM-2 – Soviet Amphibious Reconnaissance Vehicle

The BRDM-2 (Boyevaya Razvedyvatelnaya Dozornaya Mashina) is a Soviet 4×4 amphibious armored scout car developed in the 1960s to replace the earlier BRDM-1. Featuring a fully enclosed hull, NBC protection, night vision capabilities, and a turret-mounted heavy machine gun, the BRDM-2 significantly improved combat survivability and reconnaissance efficiency. Widely exported, it remains in service in over 30 countries.

The vehicle is well-known for its off-road mobility, amphibious capabilities, and versatile role in reconnaissance, patrol, and light support missions.
