AM Shell Casings?
Posted by RESlusher on Thursday, November 10, 2011 9:43 AM

Does anyone know if there's a company that makes aftermarket 100mm shell casings?  I'm looking for some for the rotary magazine in my BMP-3 kit.  I did find this on EvilBay; but I'm thinking these are WW2 era rounds and not the modern stuff that would go in the BMP-3.

I'm pretty sure those could work. but you should also try to find the missiles that were fired by the BMP-3. The 100mm gun used by the BMP-3 was very similar to the gun on the M-551 Sheridan where it fired regular rounds but also Anti-Tank missiles out of the same barrel.

Mike,

The kit came with 3 or 4.  Those I plan to put in the rack inside the turret; but there's also a storage magazine in the base of the turret.  I want to see how much of the turret is going to be visible before I spend too much time and money on it. 

This is the first time I've built a kit with a fairly detailed interior.  Normally I just button mine up.
