BMPT Terminator, Part 1

Here at Glacial Scale Modeling, I pride myself on the ability to interrupt any build in order to research a new topic of interest or to begin yet another build that has caught my fancy. So, in addition to the many current builds in varying stages of completion, I have begun a mini-group build with two other members of IPMS Richmond.

Following our completion of the 1/72 scale Bradley IFV last year, we decided to build Zvezda's 1/72 scale BMPT Terminator.


This vehicle, built on the chassis of the T-72 main battle tank, was designed for supporting tanks and other AFVs in urban areas. It is heavily armored and is armed with four 9M120 Ataka missile launchers, two 30mm 2A42 autocannons, two AG-17D grenade launchers, and one coaxial 7.62mm PKTM machine gun--in total, the definition of "bad-ass."
