After recently finishing T-90 cast turret it's time for another modern Russian vehicle. This time it will be Terminator from Meng. The box is huge and heavy and there is a lot of parts so it will take time to build this monster. This will be my first Meng kit to build so I'm curious are they really so much better then Trumpy as people say. For start, box and sprue pictures.

Hi Everybody;

Another of my long awaited kits, looks Great but some questions that I have too ask. Sprue T" Is it Rubber ! Strange Mixture of Materials, I would rather have had them in plastic like the rest of the kit. And those tracks are giving me Nitemares, But that's just me. Some People like this kind of Challenge, just not Me ! I will most likely replace the plastic 2A42 guns with Model Point Barrels that I have in my stash. This is got too be one of the Better kits too hit the Market so far this year, and is one Awsome looking Vehicle !!! Another Challenge would be too paint it in the Desert Dazzeler Camo sceme.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Be careful Mike, your Model Point barrels were probably designed for the Dragon BMP-2 which is actually 1/32 and not 1/35.

@ seanmcandrews
I'm sure that after some time sprue P and Q will be released on it's own. For this build I still didn't decided will I put KMT-8 mine roller on it because I'm thinking about Russia Arms Expo 2013 cammo scheme.

@ grunt136mike
Sprue T is made of rubber. About tracks I don't know much, but will try them out. If I don't like them there is always Friul or Spade Ace Models metal tracks, but rather I would like this to be OOB build. There are already some AM parts for Terminator, including 2A42 barrels.

Hi Guys;

I have Two BMPTs on order, so I am going too Back-Date one with RMSH tracks and with A mixture of six & eight spoke road wheels. I have A group of pictures of this vehicle from A RAE event and sporting A different camo, sceme or I mite try the Dazzeler !

Erik; The MP Barrels are 1/35 not 32nd, the RB items are 1/32! And I have used them on my BMD-2 & ZU-23x2, the RB barrels that I also Purchased Measured out at 32nd & the Muzzel Brake was way over scale.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Good to know. I need a 2A42 for my BMD-2.

Looks like a great kit. Is that one PE part a wheel mask?
