Ok, here are the pics.

This is not a overdetailed kit, just built to show off how the conversion looks built up. I have a DML BMP-1 to finish yet , and BMP-1M Kliver turret to finish for it.

Looks very good. Do you plan to add any markings? Where can I find any information about this version of BMP-1?

I forgot how wicked these little beasts looked. There sure wasn't much to hit in a firefight. Hey nice clean kit.

Jacques,

Do you know if SP Designs plans to release any conversions (e.g. BTR-T) which will fit to new Tamiya T-55?

TIA

Michal, as for SP Designs, I spoke with Sergej and he said that he will continue making the BTR-T as a full kit rather than trying to make it a conversion because it would cost too much to do it, and the conversion would probably cost about the same as the full kit.

and for the BMP-1PG, I have not been able to find much for references on the web, but I have a couple of books with pics. Seems that while it was produced, there are not many pics on the web at the moment.
