This is a very rare variant of the BRDM 2 family of vehicles, this particular one was used as a command vehicle. Trumpeter did a really nice job with this kit, it is looks very accurate and comes with a detailed interior. The only downside to this kit is when comparing it to the other Trumpeter BRDM kits this one is missing the radios which doesn't make sense considering that this is a command vehicle. Aside from that all the other pieces fit in well together and aren't too many parts to this kit. It comes with photo etch, clear parts l, and rubber tires which make it even more detailed. It was a very fun build for me and I recommend it for the intermediate and advanced modelers.
