I started my build today. I'm going slowly, some light sanding, working on the lowe hull

I'll be following your progress, as no Cold War collection could be complete without a BMP-1.

Nice start.
I intend to build a Cypriot National Guard BMP-3 some day. I love the camo colors.

Thanks mate! I too have Trumpeter's Cypriot BMP-3 in my stash for a future project.
Do not forget to buy from RB model, the aerial (35A14) and the armament (35B110). Very nice and cheap additions!

Some more progress. I did some work on the upper hull and the turret. I also spent time to wire the lights (4 altogether). Not perfect but reasonably happy with the outcome. Tomorrow, I will work on some missing welds ...
