You should seriously consider doing an article on your finishing techniques. This one just blows me away!!!!!!!!!!

I second that vote. You should give us a good low down on your weathering techniques. This would be more than appreciated.
Excellent work again. I think you have found a very good balance between the clean/dirty look.

Good job on this one! first question: is it the dutch,belgian or turkish ? because there are some diffrences.
If it is the dutch YPR you might consider to replace the tracks (AFV Club has a set NATO tracks)
second q : why scratchbuild ? AFV Club has a kit? but then again, greet build!!!!
best reagrds, Patrick

Caventura,
What country does this UN vehicle represent?
I think your project might be a Dutch YPR-765 PRI/I....because of the guard around the smoke grenade launchers and the wire cutters. The Dutch vehicles in Bosnia might also have had the additional wire and metal frame stowage bins on the hull sides and an add-on stowage box at the left hull rear instead of the jerry can bracket.
It might also be Belgium?
Great work if is is 70% scratch built. Do you have any build images? What was the base kit you used?
The Academy KIFV kit if it is built out of the box with the UN markings represents an UNPROFOR KIFV used by the Malaysian troops in Bosnia in 1994/1995. The only thing the kit is lacking for an accurate Malaysian vehicle is the Malaysian vehicle registration number...easy to add.
