from their FB page:In the Chechen War in 1990s, Russian troops lacked effective covering fire and thus suffered great loss in urban battles. It becomes more and more important for countries to study how to combat effectively and avoid unnecessary casualties among the tall buildings in cities. The Russian “Terminator” fire support combat vehicle BMPT is developed for such a purpose. This high maneuverability multi-purpose tracked combat vehicle has powerful weapons and reliable armour protection.... It is based on the chassis of the T-90A tank. Two 30mm automatic guns, one 7.62mm co-axial machine gun and one anti-tank missile system are mounted on the turret. Mounted on both fenders of the front hull are two 30mm grenade launchers; explosive reactive armour modules are fitted on the front and both sides of the hull; there are five crew members.
There were ups and downs in the development of BMPT. Its research started in the 1980s. However, it was suspended several times for various reasons. In July 2002, the real vehicle of BMPT made its debut in the RUSSIAN EXPO ARMS. Its powerful weapons and strong survivability make it an important player in the battlefields. It can operate in all-weather and all-terrain conditions. It can suppress enemy fire no matter whether it operates independently or in coordination with tanks, APCs, IFVs or infantry. Because of its multi powerful weapons and mighty appearance, the BMPT is nicknamed the “Terminator”.
The brand new MENG 1/35 Russian “Terminator” Fire Support Combat Vehicle BMPT kit will show up in the Hobby Expo China 2014 which will be held in the Beijing Exhibition Center in China between April 30th and May 2nd 2014. This is also the second product MENG has developed with the help of Mr. Alexey Khlopotov.

I seen it too on the meng site great news but poor news for my wallet

Yay Meng is doing it! Life won't be complete without it now.

Oh my days! Can't wait for this

Just this month: new AFV club shot Kal and M109 Doher and now a Meng BMPT!
Glory days for modern modellers!

And i have still a dozen of new kits to buy with all the last news...

It was about time Meng! Great!!! Let's hope we will also see the BMPT-72 variant!

Hi Everybody;

Yea this is Great News, now is it the Mk;1 or Mk;2 !!
As it stands we are suppose too have renditions by Trumpeter, Zvesda, and lets not forget TBS with there all Resin Version, Now in Realty, I really Don't care just as long as we Have A Terminator by either Company,
The Mk;1 was A Special Built version as it has its own special Hull with A Weapon system all its own built in, two automatic Grenade Launchers. In the Mk;2 its made with out the Special Hull and is just a Basic T-72 hull, and the OHWS is Slightly Different. The Main Gun Armament is still the Twin 2A42 30mm Guns in a more Stylish Turret.
IMHO the Mk;1 looks A Lot Meaner or Dangerous if you like, ! Lets Hope we get Both Versions.

CHEERS; MIKE.
