Mike, I just sold a bunch of those BMP-2 Maybe I should paint some in 3-tone NATO for a member in NATO that used to be in the WARSAU Pact.
Just picked these up, CinC hulls with 3-D printed M109 LB (long barrel).turrets, just glued them down. Touched up the paint that will receive military brown and black soon.

I like your perspective “Redleg”.
Here are a few more items I need to paint in 3-tone NATO Camo.

The Cougars have been repainted, which turned out lightet shade than expected.
Some 3-d printed JLTV

Russian Arty - MSTA. Pion is an exposed gun, no turret cover, extended barrel, different chassis.
Thanks. nice work on that NATO camo. Got teh same problem, basing green and then putting on too much brown & black.

Foxbat,
Yep, too much of each color that I paint. But we’ll keep trying.
Working on the Hummv troop carrier, when I looked at the picture I see some flash smoothing I need to do.
Pic of current condition. The 4 man seated line was 5-man. So need to hand prime, and paint…. I hope to post once finished.
