You can use the TAMIYA T-72 kit, directly, apart from the turret. Syria bought several T-72's with the extra frontal armor...
The turret though, must be changed unless you can work with putty...

Hi giorgos;
Follow the build blog on pg;3 by asmodeuss and they tell you everything that you will need. And it appears that your on the correct path, the Tamiya kit is a good kit too start a Special project.
GOOD LUCK; MIKE.

the main difference between the two types is with the turret. The M is sort of a hybrid with the turret armor of the original T-72 but mounting the integrated laser rangefinder sight of the later T-72 types rather than the original coincidence rangefinder.The A turret features greater armor on the turret face and a sure fire way to I.D. the two is to look for a step along the lower edge of the turret face below the grenade launcher conduits, M doesn't have it while A does.
