BMP-3

This is another one of those kits I bought as a teenager at a model show. You know that feeling when the show is coming to an end, but you still have some leftover cash in your wallet, so you wander around thinking what else could you buy. This model looked like an interesting painting subject because it is pretty complex and the reactive armor kit makes it so chunky. Well, the story pretty much ended there for several years, and at one point, I considered selling it because I had absolutely zero interest in this large brick. But then, the editor of Tanker Magazine asked me if I had anything that would fit into an urban setting, and this was the best I could find, so I quickly built it for an article.
