BMP-1

Here's a 15mm BMP-1, from Old Glory. I assembled this one as it arrived, with the barrel-mounted Sagger ATGM. I intend to scratchbuild a few turret-mounted ATGMs and grenade launchers, to turn him and his half-painted, off-camera friends into BMP-1Ps. But that's a project for the distant future... 



Should any manufacturers of miniatures read this, it would be great if somebody would release 'upgrade kits' for their ageing range of Russian vehicles. ERA add-ons for T-72s, replacement turrets such as the Kliver, and stuff like that. I don't know about anybody else but I never glue on turrets, so I'd be able to re-use the same vehicles for both Cold War and modern wargames just by swapping the turrets around.
