Zdravstvuyte comrades,
I started a 1/35 Zvezda BMPT "Terminator" yesterday. I've got about 10 hours into the build so far, and am almost done with the deck and sponsons. SUCH a great kit. So far the engineering is spot-on, and their plastic is some of the best I've seen. Detail is incredible, and thanks to some good instructions assembly has been a snap.
That being said, I am in a quandary over how to paint it. I do not want to do desert on this one, but have been thinking about an urban or possibly Eastern woodland/digital/etc. 4BO, perhaps?
Since it hasn't seen any service (with any survivors, at least), it'll be completely fictitious.
What would you guys do?

Thought you'd like them. I'm tempted to do a Shilka or Tunguska in that scheme.

Hi;
If you Google BMPT you will see all kinds of info; on the Terminator. Ive counted about Nine (9) different scemes that you could use. And the all Olive Drab that seems to be there favorite color sceme at the moment.
IMHO its rather Boring, but easy to Paint. Im rather in the same kind of connumdrum, as I have both the Meng & trumpy; BMPT and can't figure how to paint them.
GOOD LUCK; MIKE.

Yeah, I want to have a little fun with this one. Something like Crimea 2021, Autumn.
I agree on the OD schemes--they are boring, but so very soviet. I like them when they are beat up and rusty, but I want a different vibe for this kit.
I got a set of the "Polite People" from Zvezda as well. Thinking a small vignette with a ruined wall, etc.
