Thanks for showing the image!
I have no idea when this photo was released, but I have a photo which shows the upper hull of a BMP-1/ or 2 with a possibly chinese turret.
Also, the upper hull-master was not finished at that time.

So possibly we can see a good BMP-2D kit (and possibly others) from our chinese friends!!!
GREAT news!

greetings...

I think it will be a while yet, but it should still be on track, heh heh

Any other input from our friends at Trumpeter?

Thanks for confirm Gaoyue.
But this photo was posted by Jim Rae on December 2010 on Missing Lynx.
Can you post some new in progress images of BMP-2?


All the best!

there's a new test shot of the BMP-2D on Trumpeter facebook page. I have a question, if it's the D version, it should have the additional armor at the rear of the turret, right? because it's not there in the pic

I'm guessing they canned it as soon as Trumpeter started releasing a ton of modern Russian stuff in plastic.

As some have stated their is a pic posted on Trumpeters FB page of a 2D test shot, this is however an old photo which was posted on here a few years ago by a Chinese member who apparently worked for Trumpeter & HB's R&D division.
