Some of those markings from the camo'd BMP-1 pics are on the Decal sheet that I mentioned and provided the link for.

fabulous pictures, thank you very much for linking them.
i do have a question, the "Bear in the Sand" book has syrian BMP painted sand colours only and no green, was this just some artistic licence by the builder and the article in the book or do sand colour only types see service, i do have some images on my phone but i'm starting to question if maybe these pictures are from iraq instead?
