From FranL - 15mm Relocated Iraqi War T-72's and BMP 1's... (60 Points)

...from Battlefront Team Yankee!

15mm plastic models to represent the Iraqi armour that fell into the hands of Kurdish and ISIS forces among others in 2003 at the end of the Iraqi War!


5 T-72's and 5 BMP 1's, more modern US stuff also has ended up in their hands that previously belonged to Iraq!



These are a little too early possibly for the period but they are listed as still in use but probably later versions.





The BMP 1's weren't too difficult to make but the T-72's were a little more fecking harder to make especially with some fecking big hands issues!

That is a respectable horde of armour Fran! I played with these Team Yankee models when I was visiting Greg last week, and while they look to be very nice kits, I understand that they are a bit fragile and fiddly to work with. Are the choppers still to come?

  3. Nice work Fran! Those T-72s are real SOBs to put together, but I have to say I found the BMPs to be decent.
