As seen elsewhere:



364 1/35 Russian BMP-3 IFV Tank "EXPERT SERIES" SRP $39.95
The Russian BMP-3 is the newest variant of the BMP family. Its primary purpose is to provide armor and nuclear & biochemical (NBC) protection to infantry troops and to enhance their fire power and mobility in the battlefield. This kit is all NEWLY-TOOLED and consists of 273 parts on 8 sprues plus tracks. Also included is an aluminum barrel as well as some photo etched parts. Markings are for the Russian Army. In addition, the kit includes complete interior detail as well as brilliant detail on the turret and hull.

From the newsletter of Trumpeter's US distributor, Stevens International.

I am REALLY looking forward to this, it's now a race between it and the Panther F.

The Trumpeter interior can only be an improvement on the Skif interior..
The AEF set I have has a great rear tunnel section, but the hull is poor and the turret base is terrible. The less said about the turret interior the better.
