Zvezda 1/35. 

The BRDM-2 was intended to replace the earlier BRDM-1 with a vehicle that had improved amphibious capabilities and better armament. The BRDM-2 is driven by a rear-mounted gasoline
engine that also supplies power to a waterjet for amphibious travel. It
has a crew of four, a driver, co-driver, commander, and gunner. The
armament is the same as the BTR-60armoured personnel carrier, a 14.5 mm KPV heavy machine gun with a 7.62 mm machine gun as a secondary weapon. The armor on the vehicle protects fully against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. This vehicle has been exported extensively and is in use in at least 45 countries.

The BRDM-2 is sometimes confused with the Hungarian D-442 FUG amphibious scout car and the D-944 PSZH APC, which have rear engines but also have twin waterjets.

The 9K31 Strela-1
(NATO name "Gaskin") mobile surface-to-air missile system is based on a
modified BRDM-2 (4 x 4) amphibious chassis with its belly wheels
removed. The original turret has been replaced by a one-man turret with
an elevating arm on each side. Mounted to each arm is a box-type
launcher for the SA-9 fire-and-forget missiles. To reduce the overall
height of the system for travelling, the missiles are normally lowered
into the horizontal position on each side of the vehicle.
