Are the Revell 35th T-72 ERA bricks too small

I applied the kit ERA bricks to the front hull of Revell's 1/35th T-72B kit last night and discovered that the arrangement leaves largish exposed areas above and below the bricks. This doesn't seem to match pictures online. Just wondering if I should be looking at Voyagers PE bricks or something.

Hi!
I applied these bricks to a T72M1 (Tamiya) hull togehter with other modifications making it a T-72B and had the same problems on the side skirts. I have no reference to the dimensions of the real bricks, but from comparing with pictures of the original vehicle I would guess the bricks are about 0,75mm to 1mm too short in lenght.
