I was just researching my Iraqi BMP 1 for the OIF campaign. I came across these OIF pictures and thought somebody might find them interesting. Especially the pictures of Iraqi Funnies. Somebody up for a conversion

If somebody comes across some pictures of Iraqi BMP-1s from 2003 and forward please share them with me HERE

My apologies if these pictures have already been posted on this site.

Interesting picture of the M24 Chaffee (2d to last pic). It even looks like the original OD color below the fender...

Hmm... that Chaffee looks very close to the original WWII version. Time to grab that Italeri M24

That would be a BTR-50 APC.

I were wondering what kind of turret that was. I do not think I have ever seen that one before.

Hi Jesper,

Here a pic of Brazilian Army EE-9 Cascavel light tank.



Brazil sold a lot of EE-9 Cascavel and EE-11 Urutu to Iraq in the 80īs. This BTR-50 (in fact, the checz version of it) was fitted with the Cascavel turret propably as an upgrade or test.

Bye,

Marcelo
