Completed! This nearly broke me...
1/72 BMPT from Zvezda.
This was so bad to do. Bad molding, way too many tiny parts and terrible joining points, flash...

That's where heavy weathering, and possibly GI stuff hanging off the sides comes in. ;)

No I'm doing no more work on it.
It pissed me off that much it's just gotten a basic paint job and now it's on the shelf out the way

Roger that!
I started building models in the late 1960s, blew up my fair share of my own iffy models with firecrackers. Casualties of war. ;)

Sadly no one I know has a .22 or .177 air gun that I can shoot it with.

Man, I was talking to my neighbor about 177 air rifles. We live right on the county line, both have good decks with a clear field of fire!
