Hello BMP experts. I recently started building the new Trumpy BMP3M with ERA. Unfortunately, I am not quite satisfied with the rendition of the add-on package. I decided to scrap it and build this version in the link http://dishmodels.ru/wshow.htm?p=338 . My question is, what is the designation of this version and is it used by the Russian Army?
When I compare the hull to the previous MICV edition, it has the bolt-on ceramic or steel armor. Is it a standard feature of the Russian vehicles?
