Trumpeter 1/35 ROKA BMP-3 IFV Scale Model Overview

The Trumpeter 1/35 scale ROKA BMP-3 IFV kit gives military modellers a close look at a modern tracked infantry fighting vehicle. The assembly reproduces the configuration used by the Republic of Korea Army and emphasises the vehicle's engineering and battlefield role.

Background and Operational Role

The BMP-3 traces its roots to Soviet design and has been adopted in various forms around the world. Its deployment with the South Korean forces highlights adaptability in mechanised formations. The full-size vehicle is equipped with a 100mm main gun, a 30mm autocannon and a 7.62mm machine gun, combining anti-armor and infantry suppression capabilities that builders can represent on the model.

Kit Details and Modelling Considerations

This Trumpeter kit is prized for clearly defined parts and surface textures that reward careful construction. The sprues supply many small components that require patient assembly and accurate painting to achieve a display-quality finish. Builders familiar with plastic modelling will find the level of detail satisfying when finished.
