Overview of the Trumpeter 1/35 ROKA BMP-3 IFV

The Trumpeter 1/35 ROKA BMP-3 IFV kit presents a detailed miniature of a modern infantry fighting vehicle for enthusiasts focused on accuracy. It reproduces the configuration used by the Republic of Korea Army, enabling faithful external representation.

Design Lineage and Field Use

The BMP-3 descends from Soviet-era IFV concepts and has been employed internationally in mechanised roles. Its use by South Korean forces highlights the platform's adaptability. The operational vehicle carries a 100mm main gun, a 30mm autocannon and a 7.62mm machine gun, which the model reflects in its armament layout.

Construction Features and Model Challenges

This Trumpeter release features fine moulding detail and textured panels that reward careful assembly. Several small parts and assemblies require precision, so builders should set aside time for dry-fitting and gentle cleanup to achieve the best finish.
