Full Review with Daniel Baxter

A little bit of background

In September 2013, Uralvagonzavod unveiled the latest armoured fighting vehicle at the Russian Arms Expo 2013 exhibition in Nizhny Tagil, Russia. This vehicle was identified as the BMPT-72 “Terminator 2” and was built as a successor to the BMPT. The “Terminator 2” vehicle is substantially similar when compared to its predecessor, and has been designed to operate alongside MBTs or independently. Unlike the Terminator 1 however, the Terminator 2 is a retrofit only package, with only old T-72s and similar being upgraded to BMPT-72 standard (no new build vehicles).

Terminator kits (correct at time of writing)

Available versions:

• Tiger models £60-£70
• Trumpeter £55-&60
• Zvesda £25-£30
