I am only going to say this as general info, NOT to detract from your build. I think you are doing a great job and having fun, exactly what modeling should be.

The BMP-1 from Trumpeter has a “plug” instead of the screening for the fording tube right behind the turret. And the fuel port is missing between the two troop hatches on the rear deck, drivers side. Considering how well so much of the rest of the kit was done, how Trumpeter screwed those two things up is beyond my understanding…
