I'm in the process of building Italeri's 1/35 BMP-1. The kit comes with Syrian, Iraqi, and Russian Federation decals, but not cold war era Soviet marks.

Anybody know of a place where they sell aftermarket decals for Soviet armor? I'm not picky about a particular era or unit...

Drop me your address in a PM, I have some older DML markings and numbers for Soviet era versions I could send.

What do the Syrian markings look like? I'm building the Trumpy one and no Syrian markings at all.

hey sorry for the delay...turns out the decals are actually for the Iraqi Army circa 2006 and the Russian Army circa 2005. The kit provides painting instructions for a Syrian BMP during the 1973 war, but no decals.

here are some pics. If you want them just PM me and I will drop them in the mail to you.

Cool. I hadn't heard of Echelon before and just checked out their site. My next project is going to be a series of British 8th Army North Africa vehicles circa spring 1942. Looks like they've got a lot of good WWII marks...

I just ordered a set of Chechen-war BMP-1P decals from these guys. They have some nice stuff. Would love to see some decals for Yom Kippur war subjects (T-55, T-62, BMP-1).

Anyone know how long it takes to see the decals arrive in the US? I've never ordered with them before.
