It's half-assembled so far for me. This kit is of course of a subject that's a combination of a 1:1 reverse engineering of the BMP-1 hull, with a domestic Chinese turret.
It first got sussy when I noticed that the hull has clear periscope parts, while the turret doesn't. Then I noticed the turret doesn't quite slot into the hull. And it's also kinda poor quality.
Then I figured it out: Trumpeter tossed the pretty good BMP-1 hull sprues into the box, and then tosed the turret sprues from the old Hobby Boss ZSL-92 into it, made with old injection moulds that are pretty blown-out. A total cash-grab.

I think the hull is fine. The turret would probably be fine in the vanilla BMP-1 kit as well, I'd assume, but I can't say for certain, see above.
