That's looking really good Stick - and nice to see a bit of extra detail being added to the interior!
funny, what with me building a Mig, and seeing you build this I went out and picked up a copy of 'Red Storm Rising; over the weekend as I fancied reading an old Cold War Thriller...

Re: 1/35 Iraqi BMP-1
Thanks Port. I am walking a fine line here between adding extra detail, and not getting carried away...
Ah, "Red Storm Rising"... Still one my favorite novels...

Re: 1/35 Iraqi BMP-1
Just some minor progress today- I attached the water channeling louvres to the rear of the upper hull side skirts.
I go back to work tomorrow, so no progress photos likely until my next day off on Sunday...

Re: 1/35 Iraqi BMP-1
Thank you Gino. Now I just need some free time to get back to the bench, and weather where I am not drenched in my own sweat while sitting and working...

Looking very good, Stik. Get yourself a portable bench and take it with you! I'm sure the Captain won't mind..............

Re: 1/35 Iraqi BMP-1
I took several photos of my work a couple weeks back, but since PB was down that day I could not get them uploaded. Life intervened in the mean time so here is the scratch work I did for the drivers compartment, as well as the jerry can racks for the rear hull fenders
racks
drivers compartment
roof interior
lower hull
TC hatch
and what you'll be able to see once it's closed up
Ill try to get it painted up and glued close in the next few days
