Hey Dan Im no expert but a steel sheet under the frame, fixed to the bed would spread the weight some.

Perfect replica, at least in my eyes.
I was just wandering how the structure didn't collapse when the gun fired...

Luigi Dicky has informed me that the bmp had a 30mm cannon and if you watch the truck firing on YouTube it hardly has any kick so I think it could handle the gun just a weight issue I think. Thanks for all the comments im going to use Deanos idea and build a floor plate and add a few more supports to the frame only problem is it then won't look like the ref photo I wanted to aim for :/ I'm hoping for more bench time tonight do I will post up an update this evening Dan B
