Hi,
My first post here, and still work in progress.
Inspired by a similar model over on another forum, attempted my own take on an American BMPt!
Photos isn't great but paint will go on soon so update will be put up then (I hope!)

Yeah that would probably be of use!
The lower hull is Dragon, the upper hull and mine plough is from trumpeters pantherII and the turret is Dragons M2A3, the era is all from the bradley kit, the rest is scratch bult or cannabalised parts from any of the other 3 kits.
Basic idea behind it is same as the Russian BMPt, mods back to front are:
Infantry telephone, bar armour, stay back placard, rear view camera, enahnaced comms antenna, new turret ring, side era, sand skirts, heightened drivers position, forward era on nose.
The turret is mofified with a co-ax minigun, metal barrel (looks more lav than m2 though!), wire trap, rear aircon unit, extended bustle with era & new basket, new commanders sight and weapon mount, missle loader for TOW launcher.
It basically cobbled together from the less good bits from the kits above (the good bits may be used for future project!)
