Any hint of any company planning to release
this heavy APC based on the T72/T90 chassis?
Recent youtube footage even has them whipping about with TOS1 units.
Seems with al the HobbyBoss focus on the Isreali APCs one might just be surfacing.

If it is a HobbyBoss/Trumpeter release, I would not expect, before next Christmas. They have several kits soon to be released. Perhaps Meng will pick it up.

Hi Guys;

The BMOT was discussed at some length in a Thread about the TOS-1, its seen only in pics, with the MLRS vehicle. Now if your so inclined you can build it in 1/72 scale !! As for 35th then we will probably see it made by one of the AM Boys in Resin first, or if your Really Adventurous then you could Scratch Build it yourself !
Start by purchasing the Tamiya kit of the T-72 then using the 72nd scale kit and use it for the Upper Hull Details.
Now I can see somebody like TBS or SPD coming out with it in A Resin Conversion; Well Lets Hope So !!!!

CHEERS; MIKE.

There's an article on scartchbuilding one in this edition of Mil-Mod:

Hi;

Now all I have to do is find somebody who is willing too part with the Magazine.

THANKS ANDY!!

CHEERS; MIKE.

well i know that if i begin to scratch build... the models gods of the far east are destined to give rise to a styrene offering...it is after all the unspoken truth

Hi Guys;

The Build Article that Andy gave us reference too is Quite Interesting, as it refers too the BMOT & BTRT !!
But the Two Vehicles pictured are Not Correct; Only One of the Vehicles is A BMOT but the description is for the BTRT. Now the BTRT is Based on the T-55, not the T-72 !! The other Vehicle in the pictures is A Vehicle that Looks somewhat similar too the BMOT, but the front of the Hull is more Vertical. I made Reference too this Vehicle in an earlier Post. And Yes" We Need them in 1/35 !!!

CHEERS; MIKE.
