It looks very nice indeed. Me too I have that kit in my stash and I think i'll do soon

Have you already done the fuel pipes?

What about the trumpeter t-62 kit?

How did it get together?

cheers and congrats

That looks like the Trumpy kit John? Build looks good. Are you planning a green color or a camo scheme?

Mauro- I built the Trumpy T-62 last year- it was a great kit, no real problems at all.

All in all its a nice kit.... the p/e screens are out of register and too small, the suspension bump stops are in the wrong position, the barrel lacks some detail, the loaders periscope is way overscale, kmt mounts should be squared, not circular........

SP Designs makes an excellent conversion to turn this into a Model 67 that has a hollow cast turret, fuel cells, and ZIP boxes.

Seriously, its the best T62 on the market and a welcome addition to our shelves and they plan a whole bunch of them....... Im wondering if they'll do a Drozd version????

Nice build, very clean work. Im also looking forward to your painting and weathering.

Trumpeter T-62 M62

BTW the SP Designs conversion to make the T-62 m67 is for the Trumpeter T-62 m72 kit. Keep it all straight!
