It appears that I had forgotten to post the existing

This is still a work in progress as there are no camo versions yet. I will post a completed set when done.
Work is still ongoing, I hope I will have more to post soon.

The level of color contrast on the M-80's set is a bit too much for my tastes but the level of detail is great. I realy like the Mi-28s and the Praga.

@Pierre, actually, the M-80 is quite subdued compared to the BMP series. I think you'll prefer the CV90 in this regard. This is my new base of work, and I find it difficult to deal with sloped surfaces.
