Ahh, news from the kit.
Is this the kit no: 364? The other one would be the M-version (365), as I remember correctly.
Thanks for the images!

greetings...

Wow, I am glad it is so close to release.
Looking at the T-62 I have in my hands, I am excited about this release!

Yes, the BMP-3´s were long awaited.
My last photos of the M-version are 18 months old (January 2008), and it was told, that the BMP´s needs to be retooled.

WOW it's seems that my old Skiff kit is now close to the bins (if this new beauty is accurate it will be far more easy to build). The only part i'll save will be the Model point barrels.
Great news thanks Gaoyue... and thinks about BMP1/BMP2 too.

The Type 86 doesn't use the same turret as the ZLC 2000. Close but not the same.


YES, so you can see at Type 86, I use a type 99 standard turret.

I noticed too the old sprocket, but gentlemen could someone says what are the other differencies between early BMP3 (Skiff did the same version) and the first version in service with russian army. Do you know the time the early BMP3 was in service in this configuration?
I remember a photo of a BMP3 hit by an RPG in chechnya (?) but impossible to see the "version" of the beast.
Thanks in advance
Stephane
