This is my recent build 1/35 Trumpeter BMP-1P soviet army in Afghanistan.
For building this model i got Inspiration of the Mig Jimenez Martin BMP-1
I didn't add any aftermarket set i only add the grenade launcher from old Zevezda kit.

That's a well battle worn BMP !
However, you should fix the track tension on the left side, it is way too loose to be able to run.

Excellent depiction of a very well worn and used looking BMP- the battered and dusty look really works nicely. I have to agree with Olivier about the track tension though.

The decals are way too bright for so worn vehicle.
Besides I don't recall so weathered BMPs in Afghanistan during the Soviet involvement there.
But as the weathering is truly amazing (as well as the photos) I think you could consider a dio of the post 1989 years with it.
