currently into building a revell BMp2 I had in stash.
I'm trying to make a syrian version I saw on YT but I have a problem, apparently the Syrian Army has pre 86 versions,without the "sheet armour" around the turret,need to know if I'm seeing it right, so I can start sanding off the layer

The BMP shows up a few times, more towards the end.

thanks Nick, watching the YT films,I noticed noone had the layer on the turret

thanks Frenchy, great link sadly no answer to my Question

looks like the Syrian army got 300 of these in 86/87, so it looks like the russians sold their old 82 version to the syrians, am I right, or is my info not correct?
