The BRDM-2 (Boyevaya Razvedyvatelnaya Dozornaya Mashina literally "Combat Reconnaissance/Patrol Vehicle" is an amphibious armored patrol car used by Russia and the former Soviet Union. It was also known under the designations BTR-40PB, BTR-40P-2 and GAZ 41-08. This vehicle, like many other Soviet designs, has been exported extensively and is in use in at least 38 countries. It was intended to replace the earlier BRDM-1, compared to which it had improved amphibious capabilities and better armament.
This is a 1/43 die cast made in Russia (?). My nephew gave it to me to add to the collection. I am enjoying it because it is different and a gift from a family member.
