The third and fourth ones are both Dragon BMP-2's. One is the BMP-2E Afghanistan kit and the other was a rebox by Italeri.
The BMP-2E box had a few surprises included jam packed inside. A lot fo resin and brass upgrade parts. This is only a fraction of what was included.





This is the Italeri rebox of the Dragon kit.



The Italeri BMP-2 rebox and the Trumpeter BMP-1 Shkval will both be in overall green. I am thinking of using the Mission Model MMP-032 Modern Russian Green.

Those BMPs look good!

The Mission Models paints are fantastic - as long as you follow their instructions for thinning and spraying. That's the only finicky thing about the paint.

Yes, trying to get as much done as possible so moving along with an assembly line. I got two painted overall green in the Mission Models MMP-032 Modern Russian Green. Waiting for them to dry so I can handle them for photos. I probably won't get to photograph them until tomorrow though.

Thanks! I just used the Mission Models MMP-032 Modern Russian Green and it worked great as you said. It takes at least two coats over the black primer but flowed beautifully and good coverage. I will get photos posted tomorrow of the two kits I painted using that Mission Models green. I think I will have to get at least one more bottle as I really like it. I have quite a few Russian and Ukrainian vehicles that will be in overall green.
