HI

I've not yet seen a DG for this campaign so please excuse me if I have missed it.

Anyway, here is my "first" entry. It is a Zvezda BMD-2 w/MP barrel, antennae and MG barrels. I have some tracks from Miniarm (?) to add. This was actually a fun little kit to build. I liked it so much I bought the -1 and Comd versions :-)

Lots of colour scheme for this guy, esp in Chechnya!!

That's becomming a very nice AFV! Great AM parts.
How is the Zvezda kit itself to build?

You are right about the DG. I don't think there is one (yet). Seeing your build inspires me to build with my SFOR Polish BRDM.

Was the Scorpion CVR(T) used in Kosovo by the British or anyone else?

Actually, it was not too bad at all. I was sceptical based on the other kits of theirs I built. It was very crisply molded and the parts fit together quite well.

I'd give it an 8.5 with the downfall being the tracks.

Hmmm I think the SCORPs were retired by then. Certainly the SCIMITAR saw service.

The SCORPs saw duty with UNPROFOR if that helps.

HTH

Only the Scorpion hull could have seen service in Kosovo providing it had been refitted as a Sabre with a Fox turret.
