Russian BMR-3M

Eddy Marshall
This kit isnt for the feint of heart having over 1300 parts to it contained in 22 odd sprues... But it is a Meng Kit, which sees this subject executed exceptionally well for us modelers...

Tracks out of the box are easy click together system with vinyl push on retainers - and with the supplied Jig it builds surprisingly fast without fuss and is really is a true workable track... Suspension all works, including the linkages, and is a breeze to put together... The entire kit just falls together... Albeit over a bit of time...

The plastic itself is incredibly well molded with no error which flows onto exceptional fit between parts... This has the least amount of mold seams I've seen in a kit in some years too... If you're looking for a challenging modern day AFV subject, then this could be it... Exceptional Engineering, Moldings, Minimal Cleanup of parts, Highly Detailed outta of the box with a few extras thrown in - Meng has certainly justified its price point for this awesome representation of the Russian BMR-3M... They truly are leading the way in today's modelling scene in multiple genres...

I just wish their instruction booklets were A4 instead of A5, it seems as little small for such a complex build and the odd additional view of parts in-situ when bonding would help - but none the less it does do the job...

This should hold true for all Meng's offerings in the T-72 and T-90 variants... Well Done Meng..! A solid 9 outta 10...!
