Thanks!

Wow it's like a bus service, you wait for one and two come together! Thanks for the news

Looks really nice.. wonder how MENG's kit will compare? It will probably be an easier build, though

Hi Everybody;

The only thing I want too know is the Release Date !
So are we too expect Two Versions of the Mk;1, I am hoping for the Mk;2 version also, from the picture it has the early 8 spoke wheels. Which someone will say Its Not Correct; And which Tracks will we see, The RMSH or the Newer T-90 type. In any case, I have my MP 2A42 Barrels already wormed up in the Bullpen.

CHEERS; MIKE.

This really is a great news.
Here is the one presented in the Eurosatory show in 2012.
Could be an interesting paint job

So there's a Trumpeter announcement....
a Zvezda announcement....with a model number #3636

AND now there's a Meng announcement....http://www.meng-model.com/new.php?id=398

but No release date from any of them



I've got a Hobby boss M1070 Tractor and M1000 HET Semi-trailer carrying a Tamiya M1A2 SEP Abrams Tusk II, flanked by the new Meng M2A3 w/Busk III

A Trumpeter Maz537G carrying a Meng T-90A..... I need the BMPT to finish the 'Set'

just waiting....

YES! Now, for the love of God and all that we hold dear- Can we please get a BMP-2?? I don't even care what model, I can play with it to get a modern one just give us something to work with that's been made within the past 2 decade's standards! We are on this great Russian tangent right now so BMP-2!!

You should check the Russian/Soviet forum more often, Nathan



Hisham

Thanks Hisham! I really should as I've JUST gotten into modern Russian stuff after playing Battlefield 3. The BMD-3 and BMP-2 are my favorites. I recently was able to obtain a BMP-2 Hull on ebay with the major alignment, hatch, and size fixes, Tracks and wheels from Masterclub, detail from Eduard and barrel from RB. The guy who sold me the kit included the old dragon BMP-2K and SP models turret and hull but selectively picked out all cannon and mantle peices!! So I'm left trying to figure out how to build a 2A24 gun and mantlet piece. So is a new BMP-2 in the works or already out I don't know about? I was under the impression one would need to buy an old kit (all the same) and conduct major scratch building or AF modifications. Any link help would be greatly appreciated guys.

Cheers!!!

This will be a future release by Trumpeter

The gun itself exists in turned metal. Modelpoint made one set. You could try to search in the RB Models range as MP is pretty hard to find.
The mantlet is not that hard to reproduce with putty and plastic strips.

I know where my money will be going, I have had no dramas with meng Kits and the actual model and the box art look great.

Cheers Ben

I'll be buying the meng kit, I agree the box art looks cool

I think the Panda Tunguska will complment the Terminator (Trumpy or Meng) very nicely.....

A buddy of mine picked up a "Terminator" at our club's contest this past weekend...the only one in the whole place! We tore it open like a couple pitbulls on a poodle! It was sooooooo sweet! I almost needed a cigarette afterwards!
