Hi Chris,
Its looking like a proper BMP-2. You still have some green showing, are you sure you are finished?? Nice work, setting a good standard. Eager to see it painted.

James

Great work there! It would deserv a figure or two as well

Now for the most important question regarding your build: Did you remember to make molds and cast this up for sale?

Cheers,

That looks so much better !
I am not a fan of UN colors. The new camo
and up armor is very nice.

Go Cardinals !!!!!
