Hello, I was going to build a T72 with the era, the Revell /DML kit, I have been looking everywhere for a decent build, and tweaks,and I mean someone who actually build it, I hate to stare at detail pics of the real ones ,not having measurements, I get confused, ...

All build I found are of non Era types, or builds with after market turrets,I want to scratch some details, but don't care if the turret is not 100 procent correct

Thanks

Tha Pit

So you are looking for a build that someone else has done all the hard work already? Maybe you can get someone on here to build one for you, would not want you to get confused. How do you expect to grow your skill set if you do not try things your self?

You're welcome Tha

Unfortunately here in Milan there are few model shops and they are small and not well provided

..
anyway

In my opinion this is the best one:

http://www.hobby-landia.it/

here instead you can find another one which is specialized in miniatures

This one is the nearest to the city center

Another one, rather big (and probably the most provided), is this one :
http://www.misterkit.com/catalog/index.php
but is not exactly in Milan, is in a municipality located in south of the city
http://www.misterkit.com/catalog/raggiungerci.php

If I can, i'll give you soon a list of most important model shops in Italy

You may be looking for a rare build. Those who start to try to improve the DML/Zvezda kits either give up and go to the Tamiya/after market route, scratchbuild their own kit, or just build it OOB.

The best place to see builds as you would like would probably be on some of the Russian build sites, (sorry I do not have any with me right now), but they often times use a fair amount of aftermarket parts in the end.

For the most part, a few things need to be thinner and the brackets the ERA is supposed to be on would need to be added (The real ERA is not just "stuck" on the real tank with glue or velcro!).

You can find a lot of treads...unforunately they are written in russian...but you should use the pics

Anyway, here some russian modeller forums

Here a very good polish modeller forum

http://modelwork.pl/index.php

Here
an Italian tread about the zvezda kit improvement (the model is not mine)

Sven. I wonder how frustating could be living in a city with any model shops

cheers

My search for T-72 Schematics turned up nothing with era. However, I did find this:

I remind you, this was a search for "T-72 Schematics"

Be careful of T-80B drawings...most are incorrect for the rear turret shape and some have the T-80U with K-1/3 ERA that can be confusing...
