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 (52) BMP-2 (Russia)

A new example of the ever present BMP-2 (see here for basic informations), and probably my last finished model for this year. The kit is from S-Model that I got with 3d printed track gears and metal canon and that I "modernised" a little by swapping the infrared light for a laser designator. The figures are from an unknown Chinese brand.
