Hello there

This is the Trumpeter early BMP-3 with a newly dried paint job.
This is a really nice kit and even comes with a basic interior.
Photo etch and link-by-link-tracks are included in the box.

This one were built more or less OOTB, with lenses, decals and antennas
added as extras. The figure's comes from Tank.

The BMP were painted with Gunze acrylics and weathered with oil paints.

Kind regards

Very nice, I like your work. The crew is one of the best I ever saw, the camo on the uniforms looks very real.

Very nice one! I especially like the figures and the weathering.

Tomas,
you definitely are mastering russian armor ! This one is very well executed too. The Tank crew is really live looking and you nailed the battledress camo.

Another beauty,they're all very nice!

very good kit, I love your works.
what Gunze color did you use for that Buff like color?

Hi all

Glad you like it.

Jamal: I usally start out with lighter colours as I weather my models mainly with dark (dilluted black) post shading and very dark oil paint washes (I personally handle dark washes better than light ones). Here (and on the T-80) I used GZ H303 green, GZ H313 Yellow and TA XF-69 NATO black followed by multiple layers of different oil paint washes.

The figures were primed with ModelMaster Israeli Armor Sand (I happened to paint a Shot Kal at the time ) with HU160 brown and HU159 green for the cammo. This again were followed by several layers of brown washes witch dulled down the paint job in a nice way.

Kind regards

great work love the weathering i have one question would the log be paint in come or would it be left unpainted ?
dave

Great build, Tomas. Both on the BMP and the figures.

Thanks for sharing

indeed a very nice model, sweet cammo!

Hi David

I believe the logs normally would't be painted in the cammo colours, perhaps all green or even left unpainted, but on vehicles that have participated in military parades/exhibits the logs often have more elaborate paint jobs.

Cool did not know that thanks
And again great build
Dave

This is a really nice built! Look very well.
I got the upgraded armor one from trump. This makes we want to start with it!

Tomas- I really think you have nailed every aspect of this vehicle- the painting is great and the weathering compliments it superbly, not overshadowing it. The figures also add interest and some scale reference. Nicely done.

I have two of these kits, both built but have been putting the tracks off for ages. Why the heck do they gice you indi teeth, is it for better detail?
