A few 1/35 IFV's and AFV's

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.

Movin' right along, there!

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.

These look great.

I too had the short track business with the Skif Strela. Replaced mine with a set of Fruils, which look stellar.
The issue appears to be still out there.

I was looking at the Trumpeter 2S1 track links which are the same as on the MT-LB/Strela but not going to worry about it as my build is going to be a what if. I got the Skif Strela kit real cheap so not really worth it replacing the tracks as the Trumpeter tracks are more than I got the Skif kit for. The Skif 2S1 tracks are also too short.
