1:35 Trumpeter 00365 BMP-3 with Upgrade Armour – Russian Infantry Fighting Vehicle Plastic Model kit

The 1:35 Trumpeter 00365 BMP-3 with Upgrade Armour is a powerful plastic model kit of a Russian infantry fighting vehicle with a striking modern appearance. This model is a strong choice for modellers who want to add a Russian armoured vehicle to their 1:35 collection, with strong military presence, recognisable firepower and an interesting place in modern armour development.

The BMP-3 was developed in the 1980s and entered service with the Soviet Army in 1987. Serial production began in the same year and, according to the supplied data, continued until 2017 at the Kurganska Fabryka Maszyn. It is estimated that more than 2,000 BMP-3 vehicles were produced. The vehicle is powered by a 500 hp UTD-29-M diesel engine, can carry up to 7 soldiers and is known for its high firepower, relatively good manoeuvrability and swimming capability.

What makes the BMP-3 especially interesting is its unusual armament for an infantry fighting vehicle. The combination of a 100 mm 2A70 gun, 30 mm 2A72 automatic cannon, 7.62 mm PKT machine gun and 9M117 ATGM launcher gives this vehicle a highly recognisable profile. Despite known weaknesses in early versions, including drivetrain and transmission issues and the unfavourable placement of troops inside the vehicle, the BMP-3 achieved significant export success.
