Z (61) BMP-1P (Russia)

The venerable BMP-1, here the P version appeared in 1979, is still soldiering in Ukraine in some number essentially as an "assault truck" with all sort of improvised additional protections of dubious utility. In this case a heavy machine-gun had also been mounted on top of the main gun.

The kit is the S-Model one with lot of scratchbuilding. Small concession compared to the photos taken from a video that served as my guide, I considerably reduced the protective net so as not to obscure the model and its details too much.

Z (7) BMP-1AM (Russia)

Next installment of my Z modelling series, here is the BMP-1AM. A modernisation of the venerable BMP-1 AIFV, the BMP-1AM received the fighting compartment of the BTR-82A with a 30mm automatic cannon, a 7,62mm machine gun and a new FCS. In addition, a new engine and torsion shafts of increased energy intensity are also installed on the new BMP.

This very very nice model is another 3D print from YK 3D Home modelling & visualization from Poland and I really like it 😎
