BMP-1s

Post by Panzerleader71 »

Are the BMP-1s in the Stock # W5 packs 1 piece models or 2 piece (hull+turret)?

The BMP-1/WZ501 are one piece castings.

Personally I think it is one of GHQs worst models which is a shame as it is an important vehicle. :oops: Hopefully it get remodelled soon..

I remember when GHQ first released their BMP-1 model back in the 70's (?) (I'm showing my age now! :wink: )

It was a pretty good model then that had a seperate turret, but it was so small I think everybody kept losing them so I think GHQ then modified the model to have the turret moulded with the rest of it.

I've still got some of those early BMPs, but with the turrets glued on and the guns pointing at a different angle. Adds a bit of variety.
