Think carefully before parting with it - I've regretted bitterly selling mine from the day I sold it!! If I could turn the clock back and reverse the decision - I would!!

Commiserations mate!! I had to part with mine in March last year and to this day I miss it like ****. Like you I had bills to pay and I know I had no choice - but to this day I regret parting with it!! :( :(

How on earth did you manage to shed a track??? Inadequate track tension or what????

Looks good :) Have fun with her - life will never ever be the same again!!

Did you mean Frank - or me?? :) I'll send the links to the files to that address and you can help yourselves!! I "think" with UK regulations it has to be a UK dealer but am not totally sure. Any deactivated weapon has to be sent to either the London or Birmingham Proof Houses to be...

PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the link to the manuals I have in electronic form. I have them up on dropbox and it will not let me generate a public URL for the folder, it has to be for a specific e-mail address.

Fitting rubber pads to the OT-90's tracks is not a quick or easy job. The only pads that will fit are BMP-2 ones. Last I heard they were about £16 each here in the UK with a month or two waiting list. And you have about 92 each side.... To fit them you (Lee, the owner) will need to jack the...

No worries :) The air system - you will (should) occasionally hear the off-load valve on the compressor popping off when the system is at maximum pressure. You may also hear a hiss from the control valves down by your left knee as they do leak slightly. There is a pneumatic release for the...

First off - congrats on the purchase! When you get it running the grins will be stuck on your faces as if by super glue :-) To answer the questions: I have some manuals - one in American English (censored by the CIA!!) - I think they are on a website somewhere, I'll check and if not then Ill...

Ummm - actually the BRDM-2 is what the cool kids buy because they can't join the ultra cool BMP class owners!! :-D

Bear in mind the pressure gauge is reading in atmospheres, not Kg/cm3. IIRC - fully charged the BMP system is sitting at around the 2200 psi mark - not something you want to have a weakness in...

Found this on YouTube - the development story of the BMP-1! Got some good footage of the other design contenders for the project as well as footage of how the Soviets deployed into water (and a good description of how a BMP-1 swims). ‪Design history of BMP-1‬‏ - YouTube

Thanks for the nice words Dave! :-P I must point out though, that the credit really has to got to go to Suvarov and his colleagues over at www . russianarms . su All I did was make it usable for those who cannot get the DJVu reader to work OK. Look forwards to seeing you at Beltring too Dave.

OK - we've now got the bugs sorted out in getting it viewable on Macs so if anyone else needs a parts catalog drop me a PM.

PM sent with details :)

I had that using Google Chrome - had to switch to FireFox to get the numbers to read OK! The actual file is in the region of 18 Mb - too big to dens via e-mail. I'll upload it to my web site today and post the link here for you - will that be OK??

Oops - sorry - must have forgotten to ad the URL's - this getting old is a terrible thing!! :oops: OK - the root for the documentation is: http://www.russianarms.su/index.php?topic=3.0 (??????????? ?????????? 2011. ?????? ????!) The specific link for the BMP parts manual is...

Either is a lot cheaper than WW2 era tracked kit or armoured cars! :grin: This might be of interest to those who have either a BMP or OT-90 - it is the parts catalogue for a BMP-1. All in Russian of course but very useful!! You will the DjVu viewer to be able to read it.

I know it should be a BMP-1 with Red Stars on the sides. Unfortunately we only have 80% of a BMP-1 (everything from the turret down - rest is Czech) with Czech roundels so we're making do with what we have. :grin: :grin: Had a hellishly hard job getting volunteers to be the Afghan rebels...

Just a (belated) thought - have you tried talking to Duncan Nicholson of "Tanks For sale"? He's UK based, phone number is 00 44 1772 601214. I know he regularly brings stuff here from the Czech Republic and has shipped kit to the US in the past. Got to be worth a phone call?
