Just to show John - Tankrider, that I actually have built something besides 3rd ID OIF stuff, here is a disabled Syrian T-72 I did last year, with a scratched turret interior. :-)

The tank looks really nice. Good job on it. I am not a fan of the vehicle falling off the base though. It looks like an afterthought and you couldn't find a big enough base.

This is the Tamiya T-72 with a new resin turret. I forget who makes it. I also got an aftermarket front hull which has the correct bolts and fixes the incorrectly faced storage box on the left front fender. I also used the PE Eduard set for this kit.
I visited the French armor museum a couple of times and that was my inspiration to scratchbuild the turret interior. It is a skeletal training tank. Very cool.
I wanted to do something unique and showing a very tall minaret with that tank as shown, I felt created a dynamic piece. I could not get a decent pic of the whole thing so I only concentrated on the tank for the pics. I used two Verlinden kits to get a tall minaret and I put in a couple of doors since the kit falls short on this detail (how does one get to the walkway provided in the kit??).
I also wanted to put some birds up there on a perch but I never got around to it. One day...
