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.
thanks for posting,
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,
