Fire Support Combat Vehicle BMPT with
KMT mine clearing system and
Electromagnetic Countermine System
We get busy with
MENG’s monster BMPT
fearsome looking beast, the Russian BMPT 'Terminator', it's
immediately apparent how the nick-name has come about!
Developed with lessons learnt from the Chechnya war this is a
very well protected vehicle with a wealth of firepower to deal
with any target at many ranges, including tall buildings in an
infantry and tank support role. To give the subject of the kit it's
full title, Fire Support Combat Vehicle BMPT with KMT mine
clearing system and Electromagnetic Countermine System and
a quick look inside the beautiful box at the heap of sprues lets
you know the kit will take longer to build than to say it! Along
M
eng's T-90 has been one of their most well received
and popular kits, not yet having the chance to draw
breath and build one we were tempted by this
with the green styrene there’s the track parts in black, clear
optics parts, jigs for both the track assembly and aligning the
suspension, soft plastic parts giving some clever flexible items,
a photoetched fret, photoetched wheel mask, nylon tow cable
and pre-cut mirrors. The instruction book is up to Meng’s usual
high standard and offers three great looking colour schemes
from different arms expo vehicles. As I found with their Bradley
recently, this is another kit Meng have left nothing to chance,
every item and every assembly has the same level of thought
and detail. Don’t be put off starting to build the beast by the
sheer number of parts, assembly is a pleasure and once started
you’ll have to tear yourself away from the workbench.
