I take it you mean Modern Combat rather than WAW?
I haven't found any 1/72 plastic infantry, but some companies do 20mm metal (I use Liberation, but there's others). S+S models have resin BTR-Ts on the way and Easy Model have prebuilt+painted BMP-3s on their release schedule (don't know when though
). T-95s don't exist AFAIK, and I couldn't drum up enough interest here for S+S to construct some. T-90s are available as ACE kits, but they can be hard to track down (I've been trying to find some over here for months, hope you've better luck over there). The BMP-T is due for release as a plastic kit, but I don't remember who's doing it. There's a Tunguska kit from one of the Eastern European companies, Military Wheels I think. All the aircraft are easy enough to get.

I've seen them, not bad figures but not really suitable for BE:MC due to the figure types. There's quite a mixture including vehicle crewmen and dog handlers, you'd only manage a pair of mech. squads per box at best (if you don't mind a mix of uniform types). Take a look at the Plastic Soldier Review site. There is a Spetsnaz set doing the rounds, but they can't really be used as regular troops.

Is that the one based on the T55 chassis? I think Trumpeter is going to release it. They do have some nice modern stuff, I picked up a couple of Strykers and they look (and assembke) nice.Iain McGhee said:

the bmp-t is based on the t72, the t55 based apc is the btr-t, soon to be released by s &s models, in 20mm scale.

The BMP-T (Terminator) is a close support tank based on the T-72, with a mix of MGs, 30mm cannon, grenade launchers and ATGMs. It's seems to be intended to escort armoured units in urban terrain.
