I just saw this on a Trumpeter (fan) site.

I apologize if it's been posted before.

Thanks for posting the link. That's the first time I have seen any test shot built up images of the new kit.

It looks very nice. Hopefully Trumpeter will include a photo etch fret with the bar armour used at the rear sides of the hull and rear of the turret.

I don't know if any BMP-3 users actually bought the armour package. I know that the UAE were interested but I don't know if they purchased any complete packages.

It will be a great addition to unique modern Russian armour.

HI

Interesting upgrade and gives the vehicle a whole new look.

I guess this would qualify for as a "Wifer".

Look fwd to adding it to the ever growing pile.

Excellent...I am cautiously optimistic. Looks like it will be a better offering than the SKIF kit.

But where is the MAZ tank Transporter...?

Wow, that looks nice. I will have to get one of those if it turns out to be a decent model with some cool colour schemes and markings

Nice to finally get some more modern Russian models
