Hi all,
I would know if the Trumpeter BMP-2D is correct about accurancy and which are the bad points of the kit.(if it has bad points)

Also...Can I use the miniarm detail set for BMP-2 also for the BMP-2D!?!

Cheers

Ciro

The only thing you need to change is the track link if you are bored with rubber tracks. and another thing you may have interests to change is the gun cover. miniarm has it.. and especially for Trumpeter BMP-2. there is no problems of Their BMP-2 as far as we can see from the forum. so Dont worry about that. Miniarm resin has a better detail like the part I told you . and that is not a accurancy problem. Rick Lawler has already finished a Trumpeter BMP-2 and it is nice. so,,,,,,,Just go for that. Forget the Dragon 1/32 junk

I've received my own kit just two days ago, and it looks very good. The vinyl tracks have not the deformations seen on photos published on this forum some months ago, and appear fine (within the limits of vinyl tracks). They have the detail of a concave part on the outer side of teeth that would have required to make each tooth as a separate piece, if made with rigid plastic.
