Just saw on another site that Trumpeter is planning to do two versions of the BMP-3 in 2006. I find this to be very exciting news and personally can't wait for them to put their spin on this vehicle. I just wonder what versions they could be doing to need two.

Also noted that Bronco Models is planning to release the Scud A on the IS2 Chasis.

These new releases are definately welcome additions to us modern russian fans.

Vaporware is their first name

Hi

While I agree the BMP-3 is welcome, I would have prefered to see a new -1 and/or -2.

Still, the more we buy the more motivation there will be forTrump to do them :-)

I am hoping to see the MAZ transporter first, but I am happy to see more/better russian stuff. I agree a completely new BMP-1/2 would have been a better choice, but a -3 is welcome.

Also, there are quite a few variants of the -3. If Trumpeter do this kit well, I think the aftermarket people will pounce on it.
