Hi guys,

I'm building Trumpeter's BMP-1 and I was wondering if there are any photos of the missile support... without the missile. Right now, I have it like this, but it's probably not right.

2 more views (judging by the Primeportal pics, I guess there may be a removable cover fitted when the launcher is not used...) :

Thanks for the photos.

I guess it doesn't look that bad as it is, then (apart from the fact that it looks I glued it backwards).

Hi;

FYI; The Missiles came already mounted on A Launch platform or Plate if you like; And in the first pic, its depicted, and in the second pic, you can see the Launch rail empty !!

CHEERS; MIKE.

Thanks guys,

I left the part as it is, except I turned it backwards to the correct position.
