Hello friends,
My travel thru the dark side is going on and on, this time one from the “dark side of the dark side”
Some of you may remember a topic where i was asking for pictures to build an Iraqi BMP-1 camouflaged
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/211355&page=1
Well here it is, thank you all that helped me with your references/tips
This is an very beautiful AFV, and I don’t know why but the soviet/Russian machines have some “glamour”… well another one built with lots of fun doing it.
This is the Trumpeter 1/35 BMP-1, OOB, a nice kit but than can be improved with some extra parts (P.E. for example).
In the end I become very satisfied with the final result, I know that I could have done it better, but well there is always the next kit…
Well, I hope you like it, and all your constructive comments are welcome.
Thank you for looking
Best regards from Portugal
Vitor Costa

Hi
Yes i know it already, it will be an MC200 Saetta in 1/48 from Italeri for a costumer, regarding AFV's probably something with portuguese marks also for a costumer... i think!
For my own collection (like this BMP-1)... a Challenger I or a BTR-50... lets see

Very nice paint job Victor. I love the first picture with the background, it is looking actual.

Excellent stuff Vitor- the camouflage and weathering are really well done and the setting is perfect for the BMP.

Hi Vitor
Great model and very nice vignette. The first picture with the background is just perfect.
How was the build??
