The camo scheme on the M1A2 SEP V3 is for OPFOR training. Weird they are using the new SEP V3 versions for OPFPOR already.

« Last post by Ramba on Today at 01:53:21 AM »Movin' right along, there!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.
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.
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.

« Last post by Ramba on Yesterday at 09:48:18 PM »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.

« Last post by Ramba on Yesterday at 09:36:48 PM »I got eight kits primed over the weekend between the humidity and thunderstorms.
Here are the first two.
Trumpeter BMP-1 converted to BMP-1 Basurmanin using the Trumpeter BTR-80A turret. I had the BTR-80A turret as left over.
Second one is another Trumpeter BMP-1 variant. I am using the SP Designs Shkval conversion set. The resin gun barrel was badly warped but some hot water cured it.
