It says BOTH versions have been photographed.

Looks good to me so far....

Sad that the photos are a bit blurry but nonetheless it looks good to me anyway . No single link tracks?

Keep 'm coming Trumpeter!

Jacques, why ?

I'm sweating to see if the dimensions and detailing are correct. IF, and I stress IF, they are, Sergej will have an interest in doing many of the BMP-3 variants...i would like a Vena and a BREM version for sure!

That is really great. There are several versions. At least there are different sprues with turrets on them. That is a good indicator that several different versions are in the working.

So the question is what kind of BMP 3 versions use different turrets? I cannot think of any just now.

I think the different turrets are standard and with ERA mounted. The pictures are of two different kits.

As for other turrets, there is a Universal turret that was made for the BMP-3, BMP-2, BTR-90, and to put on other generic chassis, mainly export.

I am not sure that Trumpeter will do more BMP-3's than just these two.

Any idea when this will hit the streets?

Is the Vena the Sp 120mm turreted mortar?

Yup, it is the 2S31 Vena
