Detailed 1:35 BMP-3 IFV Assembly by Trumpeter 01528

The BMP-3 advanced IFV is rendered here in 1:35 scale, with this Trumpeter 01528 kit capturing the platform's notable features. Designers placed the engine at the rear-right, which the model reproduces alongside seating provisions for seven infantrymen.

Historical Context and Use

Introduced in the late 1980s, the BMP-3 has been delivered to nations like the United Arab Emirates, Cyprus, Kuwait, and South Korea. The kit showcases service-related traits such as raised clearance and rear entry points to mirror how the vehicle operates in troop roles.

Accuracy and Build Notes

Trumpeter provides more than 750 pieces, photo-etched metal parts, and clear elements to mimic optical fittings. The multi-part hull and turret require careful trimming, and the set includes 192 individual track links that add authentic texture but increase assembly time.
