Click on the pictures
General information for all kits:
-The kits are packed in a transparent plastic blister packaging.
-The parts are printed on one of more plates.
-There is no construction description, which is not so bad, because most of the kits have few separate parts.
-In case of construction problems, you have to rely on the photo of the packaging or you can search for information on the internet yourself.
-Be extremely carefully with deleting the print channels, small or thin parts are quickly damaged
-The resin used is quite hard, as with all 3D Printing companies. Removing the print channels requires some experience. You should do this with the necessary caution to prevent damage
-Decals are not included
Kit 72498 - Destroyed BMD-3
Comments:
- The 1/72 model contained only 1 part
- Print lines are not visible
- The wreck is very finely detailed and fragile. One must have the necessary knowledge and experience to be able to process and paint the model properly.
- The model should be included in a diorama or small vignette.
Conclusion:
- It is a nice 3D printed model with great acceptable details.
- Model is not width available by other manufacturers

Built Model by Walter Hendriksma
To make the review something acceptable, the model was handed over to my friend Walter Hendriksma (nickname - AnyBlunder), being a dedicated diorama builder.

This is a new-ish 3D printed model from FC-ModelTrend, a destroyed Russian BMD-3. I replaced some of the smaller details and made a small scene, representing
how it might look sometime after being destroyed. I don't usually do groundwork and haven't done much of it over the last 12 or so years, but this really
needed something. These BMD hulls are made mostly of Aluminium alloys and end up oxidising to pale, almost dusty greyish whites that contrast well with the
ground. It was a sombre piece to work on, and I did stop at one point to reconsider finishing it but pushed on. - Regards Alex Clarck
