Ttanks for all for all the nice comments guys is is always a very uplifting experience - cheers
As I lack any sense of continuous work flow
, do expect thee odd ruin -related post- Intertwined with armor suff, going forward as a big benchmark would be fixing the ruin to the base but for that to happen I need to finish the floors completely 
So, I promised a slight topical detour so lets talk about the armor in this dio : The Regime BMP 2:
it has been nearly 5(sic) years since I took this kit out the last time. I will be using parts of an old post I did - the original can be found Right here.
Quarter master's list:
Fruil tracks - I just can't stand vinyl
Panzer art roadwheels - details on the kit vers are indistinkt but oh my - more on this Faithfull decision below.....,
Miniarm bmp 2 correct set for commander's cupola - crispier details on ir lights etc.
Et models PE - details
SARAB 2 active protection systems from AGV model (I completely messed up building one myself ) becoming more prevalent on MBT, AFVs and even Technicals around the period the dio takes place (2013).
Scratched impro - armor on sides. same as above but will prob have been added a a first go - to solution for the crew to give some (mostly moral) support against the growing threat of ATGMs from the rebs.
Using Miniarm replacement parts
Miniarm parts are in light pink
Field mod: sideskirt filled with what - eveer -migt -be -put- to -use -to -counter ATGM - filling
Evergreen plus PE from an old Verlinden set::
Syrian home - grown Sarab II IR dazzler:
Additional details will be addede - lead thread for wirering
Zeh Panzer Art wheels....
2019: Panzer art roadwheels need to be drilled out to fit the axels i do not have a proper sized drill for the job and the results are less than perfect as the wheels will be on level pavement they need to be flush ....and yes, i managed to drill all the way through the hub cab.
2024: Well, what was "less than perfect" in 2019 by 2024 standards simply did not pass muster when I revisited the kit. I tried to break the wheels of but broke only bogie axels....
To make a long story short I bought a new kit to use as a donor kit for the hull and wheels - the remainder will be used as part of knocked out vehicle in a Ukraine conflict dio on the bench after this...
Rather than show you the assembly of the lower hull using the kit roadwheels, the following posts will be dealing with finishing the roof of the hull.
till then
Thanks for looking and stay safe
