E.T. Model E35-041 Russian BMP-3 IFV w/ Add-On Armor (Armor part) (For TRUMPETER 00365) (1/35) – Photo-Etched Parts Set

The E.T. Model E35-041 set is a high-quality collection of photo-etched parts designed to recreate details and additional armor for the Russian BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle in 1/35 scale. This product has been specially designed for the Trumpeter 00365 kit to provide perfect fit and the highest level of detail.

The BMP-3 is a modern infantry fighting vehicle, developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and is considered one of the most advanced vehicles of its class in the world. The BMP-3’s armor, along with the possibility of using add-on armor, meets the requirements of modern armed conflicts. The vehicle has been and is still used by the Russian army as well as by the armed forces of many other countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Greece, and Azerbaijan. The BMP-3 has taken part in, among others, operations in the Caucasus, Syria, and the war in Ukraine, making it an extremely interesting subject for historical and military modelers.

The E.T. Model E35-041 photo-etched set focuses on the most damage-prone elements — side armor panels, protective grilles, and details of mounts and handles, which are much harder to reproduce in plastic. The set includes precisely cut plates, small components such as fittings, and grilles with an aesthetically rendered scale appearance. All parts are made of high-quality brass using photo-etching technology, which provides maximum durability while maintaining the model's realism.

The metal parts set is a dedicated addition for advanced modelers who want to increase the level of detail on both older and new Trumpeter releases and wish to recreate the authentic look of modern Russian combat vehicles. It is perfect for model dioramas and competition displays.
