Built this kit OOB to represent Indian Army BMP-1 served in the north western borders of India. Used Tamiya acrylics, oil paints for weathering and white glue and play sand to create desert diorama..Any suggestions , criticism welcome.













Thanks
Vivek

Hi,

It looks nice. Maybe you should paint the turretlight, the optic on the turret roof and the attachment for the canvas cover. I like the dirt on the exhaust and how the antenna looks.

Hi Vivek,
your model is original in its nationality and camo.
You should consider painting the rubber parts of the wheels and fixing the left track tension near the idler.

I have to say I like the sort of bicycle flag on the antenna. XD
