We have news from Miniart showing an all-new version of the Ukrainian BMR-1 w/KMT-9
1/35th scale - think about the weathering possibilities guys/ gals!!
Ukrainian BMR-1 w/KMT-9:
The Soviet-designed BMR-1 Late Modification was derived from the hull of the Su-122 tank destroyer. The Recovery vehicle that was designed was teamed up with a KMT-7 mine roller/ clearance vehicle and used by many countries from the Soviet bloc in the '70s, Modern conflicts in the Caucasus republics, Mine clearing operations in Lebanon and the civil war in modern Ukraine to present day. Ukraine is one of the most mine-affected countries in the world, limiting freedom of movement and posing a serious threat to civilians crossing the contact line so these machines are used a lot in that country.
Decals sheet for 4 variants notice that the kit includes a cheeky mine warning sign? Nice!
A UN Version used in Lebanon from 2000 - 2009
A very recently captured tank in the 2019 conflict in Ukraine
