While working on the RFM USMC M1A1 FEP kit, I also started on the RFM M1A1 Ukraine/Poland kit. I am making mine as Ukrainian. Ukraine got the M1A1 SA version. The RFM instructions show to make the Ukrainian version as a plain vanilla version without the SCWS, loader's M240 gun shield, blast shields and rear phone box. From photos revealed of actual Ukrainian M1A1 SA's, they do in fact have the SCWS, loader's M240 gun shield, blast shields and rear phone box. If making the Ukrainian version, it is better to follow the instructions for the Polish version but there are still some slight differences. The instructions for the Polish version show to use the Blue Force Tracker (BFT), USMC style smoke dischargers and the later style phone box. You will have to use the US Army smoke dischargers as shown in the instructions for the Ukraine version and also use the earlier style phone box part B8 for the Ukrainian version and leave off the BFT. Not all parts for an actual M1A1 SA are included in the box though. You need to get the loader's M240 gun shield and blast shields from the RFM M1A2 SEP V2 kit. One thing to note about the blast shields, you need to mix and match two different sets to make the correct ones used on the M1A1 SA. The parts trees you need to acquire from the RFM M1A2 SEP V2 kit are parts trees "J" and "S". You also need the clear parts tree "T" for the ballistic glass for the M240 gun shield.
This is the RFM M1A1 Ukraine/Poland kit.
Images of a Ukrainian M1A1 SA. They were found on X but forgot who posted them for proper credit. They are used for reference purposes only. You can just make out the SCWS and blast shields in the first photo. While the second photo is smaller and blurry, you can better see the SCWS, M240 gun shield and blast shields.
This is the source for the first image of the Ukrainian M1A1 SA.

These are the RFM M1A2 SEP V2 parts trees you need for the M240 gun and blast shields. Parts tree "J" has the parts for the M240 gun shield and original style blast shields. From the "J" parts tree, you need parts 15 and 20 for some of the blast shields. You also need parts 28, 32, 33 and 35 for the M240 gun shield plus parts T5 from the clear parts tree. From the "S" parts tree, you need part 15 to complete the blast shields common to the M1A1 SA.
These are the blast shield parts from the "J" and "S" parts trees. The top part is S15 and the two lower parts are J15 and J20.
You need to trim off part of S15 to fit parts J15 and J20. The area with the arrow is the section you need to cut off but you need to save the smaller rectangular area with the two bolts on it.
I unfortunately didn't take photos after trimming/modifying the section of part S15. Here are parts S15, J15 and J20 modified to make a correct M1A1 SA blast shield already attached to the turret. You can see where I modified the section with the two bolts to fit parts J15 and J20. You can also see I added the discs to the top of the blow off panels. On the M1A1 SA, they didn't have them so I have to remove them. For the correct blow off panels use parts F34.
