Trumpeter 05584 Russian BMP-2 IFV (1/35)

Trumpeter 05584 Russian BMP-2 IFV is a high-quality plastic model kit in 1/35 scale, designed for demanding military modelers. The BMP-2 is a Soviet infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), introduced into service in the mid-1980s and intensively used up to contemporary times. It featured improved armament compared to its predecessor, the BMP-1 — most notably, a new turret with a 30 mm automatic cannon and the capability to mount anti-tank missile launchers.

The Trumpeter model reproduces the vehicle in an extremely detailed and realistic manner, in line with the latest 1/35 scale modeling standards. The set replicates numerous external details such as observation systems, armament, reactive armor, and the running gear. The box also includes a realistic turret with a movable cannon, a meticulously recreated troop compartment interior, and segment tracks that ensure excellent display potential for diorama use.

The BMP-2 was widely used in armed conflicts from the Cold War era by numerous Eastern Bloc countries, as well as in conflicts in the Middle East and Asia. Mass production began in 1980, and users included Russia (formerly the USSR), India, Syria, Iraq, and the Czech Republic, among others. The vehicle proved its worth during the Afghan War (1979–1989) and in the Chechen conflict, among others.
