Does anybody make a PLA Type 86 IFV??? The original BMP-1 knock off. Trumpy makes the "A" and "B" variants, with the upgraded turrets. I swear I saw an 86 .... with original 73mm gun ... hobby Boss or Trumpy ... the other day but now can't find any reference even.

Trumpeter did a kit of it in their early ages when their boxes were white with poor boxarts. Certainly not a great kit though.

Merci. I don't think it was that old kit. (re box maybe) I seen to remember seeing the color options for it being a sheet like the Hobby Boss/ Trumpeter ones. One scheme was a PLA Marines ... two tone blue / dark drab.

To tell the truth, i thought to have seen it (made on the base of the recent BMP-1 box, not the ancient one), but I am not sure, could have missed the different turret of the a/b kits.
