I need this measure taken from an unmodified Tamiya T-72, because Dragon/Zvezda/Revell offerings are way too short:



It is the hull roof, from the glacis end to the turbocompressor grill plate beginning. This is what I've already made:



I think I made it a little longer, it is exactly 13.6 cm long (my self-made hull) so I need to correct this, now that it can be made, I think the problem is between the turret ring and the driver's hatch. I want that measure to compare it and correct it if mine is longer, so I can use the razor saw. Hope you can help me. Thanks a bunch in advance. Best regards.

Just checked mine and it measures in at 13.6 as well

Hmmm so the measure is correct...Then I'll keep scratchbuilding my upper hull. Thanks for the measure. Best regards.

EDIT: I don't know why, but something tells me that the correct length should be around 13.4... Anyone can confirm this before I use the razor saw?. Thanks in advance.

José.

And so?... Nobody else? Just one more, I want to confirm it. Best regards.

Hi José!

Sorry this comes so late. My hull matches Christian´s and your measure. Exactly 13,6cm. Measure taken from Tamiya T-72 hull.

Best regards,

Andreas

OK, thanks for your time Christian and Andreas, It seems that I gave it the correct length, so I'll resume my build shortly. Best regards.

José

Would measurements of the actual vehicle be helpful to you?

I think they'll work, now that I can correct it if it is wrong, I haven't placed the fenders, so it can be done... If you know the actual length, please tell me. Best regards.

José.

PM your email address for measurements and detail photos of hull top.

PM sent. best regards.
