Now that is a blast from the Cold War.

Very nice master. Nice transition from the PT-76.

Good looking master, Gaoyue. I don't know subject well, but it's great that you continue to work on modern AFVs. Any updates on BMP-3 kits?

That looks great!

Any info on when this will be released? Will it be a Trumpeter item?

Gaoyue -
Nice ASU! The MG mount looks a bit off - is it the same one supplied in the PT 76 B Polish version and in the upcoming T62?

Can you tell me what the Trumpeter EXPERT series is regarding the new BMP 3s? It looks like theres a full interior too.

Hi GAOYUE. Not really my preferred timeframe or interest, but theres something very "WW2 German jagdpanzer" about this. Very cool model ... if there was ever something that would make me build modern, this could be it.

Chris, what looks wrong with the MG mount to you?

Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT news! Very happy to see this.

The MG mount, as reported when the test shots of the T-62 came out and confirmed with the PT-76B, is incorrectly molded. The recouperator rods (?) are in the wrong spots and positions, for one thing.

Otherwise, it looks marvelous.

Now, about those T-62 and BMP-3 kits...???

Thank you, Gaoyue, for the BMP test shots. Is there an estimate of release date or we are to wait for another year?
