Hello!

I have a Question regarding the mentioned Miniarm turret. Is this really useable for a T-72A with the smoke dischargers on the side of the turret?

In the case it is, how would the glacis look like? Would the driver hatch area have the anti radiation liner?

Hi Robert;

Yes the Turret is O.K. ! The Hull can Have the extra Armor and can be hard to Ident when the ERA is Mounted.
If you try looking at the T-72 on the net you can find lots of useful info; and there is A nice Post that was Posted on the page thats worth looking at. Just type in T-72av and you can find everything you want. As for Miniarm there Conversions are Tops.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hi Mike,

maybe my first post wasnt worded clear enough.
What I want to know is if this turret is suited for a T-72A WITHOUT the ERA blocks. I cant find pictures of a T-72A with the anti radiation liner and the smoke dischargers on the side of the turret without ERA or its mounting brackets. So can I build a T-72A with this turret or only a T-72AV?

Hi Robert;

I think it has to depict A T-72AV ! If I Mite Ask; How are you Planing to Model your T-72,ie;) Conflect, ERA, or A Specific Vehicle !!! Or A Dio; Bear in mind that the T-72s went thru A Lot of re-build programs, if you Google T-72av and find the Post by net-work 54 it mite help you in your choice.

CHEERS; MIKE.
