Product Description
The BMD-1 airborne infantry fighting vehicle shares many of the characteristics of the motor rifles’ BMP-1. It is armed with the same 73mm 2A28 “Grom” low-pressure smoothbore shortrecoil semi-automatic gun. It can also fire the same AT-3 Sagger anti-tank guided missile. However, it is much lighter and smaller so it can be secured to a pallet and parachute dropped from aircraft, as well as being airlifted by a heavy helicopter. The engine is located at the back of the BMD-1, so its transported paratroopers have to mount and dismount the vehicle via the roof hatches.
The BMD-2 has an upgraded turret/weapons combination. It is similar to the BMP-2 in the same way the BMD-1 is to the BMP-1. The BMD-2 is armed with the 30mm 2A42 multipurpose autocannon, a 7.62mm PKT coaxial machine-gun, and a pintle-mounted 9P135M-1 anti-tank guided missile launcher firing the AT-5 Spandrel (9M113 Konkurs) missile. Heavy weapons are carried in the BTR-D APC, distinguished by their lack of turret and extra road wheel (six on each side, rather than five on the BMD).

Great plastic model and easy to build.
These models are perfect for a VDV force in Team Yankee. Their new one-piece turret design makes it easy when attaching the anti-tank missile. Model has a lot of details and looks great next to the ground units.
