Hi people!
This is my BMP-3 built to Protection Campaign.
It is almost OOB. I just used RB Model antennas and guns and Voyager PE to rear hatches.
To paint, I used VA Russian Green primer and MH "Yellow".
I hope you like.
Be gentle people, Russian armor is not my core
Cheers!

Great job Marco
I like the dust on the bottom of the skirt armour and the weathering overall is really nice.

That's a real nice looking build. Did the slat armor along the rear sides come with the kit or are they voyager?

Everything looks just right. My congratulations on a kit well done. I do notice one or two blemishes, in the paint. But, I doubt they would be noticeable to the naked eye.

Hi people!
Thank you very much!
@Willian: I really do not know. But as far as can know, BMP-3s w/ add on armor wasn't used even in Russia. It just a kind of prototipe.
@Seth: The slat armor is plastic. (good, they have a good shape).
@Matt: Thanks man! Can you, please point this mistakes? I have a Gaz Tiger, MAZ KZKT and MAZ 537... I need some tips about russian paint.
@Olivier: I hope, because I like russian armor.
Again, thank you very much guys!
Cheers!
Marco

Very good!!! I've been thinking about this kit and you have just "sold" one for Trumpeter =)
I assume the flaps on the turret are heavy rubber?? Paint would easily flake off that and you seem to capture that effect well.
The rusty part on the slats...heat damage from the exhaust? Again, well done!!

Hi R!
Yes, I assumed that is rubber. And yes, I pretend to reproduce the heat damage.
Thanks a lot and send news about the canadian RG-31.
Cheers!

Nice work Marco- I like the look of this vehicle in the paint scheme you have gone for- plus you have picked out the details of the kit fantastically.
