Voyager Model PE35447 is a professional upgrade set intended for the plastic BMP-3 model in 1/35 scale by Trumpeter (catalog no. 01531). This product belongs to the category of photo-etched sets for plastic models and was created specifically to reproduce highly detailed features of the armored vehicle used by the United Arab Emirates in modern times.

The BMP-3 is a modern infantry fighting vehicle designed in the USSR at the end of the 1980s. It is distinguished by its unique design and heavy armament, including a 100 mm cannon and a coaxial 30 mm autocannon. The BMP-3 has been adopted by the armed forces of Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and several other countries, taking part in numerous local conflicts in the Middle East and Caucasus in the 21st century.

The Voyager Model PE35447 set is made of precisely photo-etched brass sheet, which provides the highest quality details unattainable with plastic technology. Dedicated to modelers seeking exceptional realism, the set includes numerous small parts, such as:

• metal covers for fans and air intakes
• photo-etched details for external hull equipment
• undercarriage elements as well as intricate handles and mounts
• detailed features characteristic of the UAE version

Material: Photo-etched brass sheet
Additions: The set does not include plastic or resin parts – it consists exclusively of precise photo-etched sheets.

The set is designed for intermediate and advanced modelers – we rate the assembly difficulty at 4/5. Care, precision, and experience with photo-etched elements are required, along with appropriate modeling tools (e.g., tweezers, CA glue).

We recommend Voyager Model PE35447 as the ideal choice for enthusiasts who want to give their BMP-3 models a unique and faithfully reproduced character, especially in the configuration characteristic of the United Arab Emirates. This is an excellent solution for exhibitions, modeling competitions, and diorama collections depicting modern theaters of war.
