Hi - not a BRDM1 I’m afraid but, if it helps, a BRDM2 ?

Not that I know of a BRDM 1, but what scale are you interested in?

Empress is 1/50, HLBS (the one in the Empress link above) is 1/48 (near enough for gaming unless you have the same vehicle in both scales) and Sloppy Jalopy have a BRDM 2 in 1/56.

Cuprum might have some ideas, as might Wyrmalia.

1/56 is good as it's says it's works with 28mm

There has been a discussion on this sub-forum (and on the WW2 one) about 1/56 and 1/48 (plus a side order of 1/43).

In some ways it is best to choose your scale based on the range available.

Unfortunately, I do not know any model of BRDM-1 at a suitable scale. All I can offer you is to make a model on my own, using patterns of a paper model at a scale of 1:50. I think these sheets need to be printed on an A4 scale (or reduce them to 1:56). Cardboard or thin plastic can be used as a material. Wheels can be taken from a suitable diameter from other toys or other models.

I know one person who makes similar models from aluminum beverage cans. On them, you can push the desired relief, and collects - cyanocrylate glue. Cuts out parts with ordinary scissors. Of course it is troublesome - but this is still the only way to get the desired model.

Thank you paper model might be the way forward, certainly a different way of doing it

Solido made the Sagger ATGM version. It’s not entirely accurate as either the Sagger, Swatter or the recce version and it is around 1/45. That said it looks like a BRDM-1, is a robust toy and shouldn’t be beyond the average gamer to modify to the version they want. They pop up on ebay from time to time.
