Fantastic news Igor! I cannot wait for the Rogatka.

What happed to the BMP-2 as well? Has it been scrapped or will you still release it? I know that Trumpeter are supposed to be working on one.

This is my very own version of a 2A46M:











Its length is 13.35 cm. It has less clamps for the thermal jacket compared to a T-72A barrel. Only the first (from the tip) two "fins" over each termal jacket segment are aligned with each other, the other two are not aligned with those two, as seen on actual photo. I scratchbuild this barrel specially for a T-90 project I have... Still looking for better reference to start building the turret shell. Best regards.

José.

Hi Raul,

Nice! Guess I'll need a few for my T-72projects.
No chance for a T-72AV turret with the ERA?

Cheers,
