Hello fellow modellers!
Here's my attempt on Meng's T-72B1. Mostly done, still some minor touchups to do.
Great kit, builds without any major issues, apart from tracks that are supposed to be workable, but links just don't stay together so I had to glue them.
Finished with Ammo paints and effects (mostly).
Comments and critics are welcome as always!

I agree.
Great build, simple but effective weathering.
You should be proud of your build. Well done Saša !!

Nice work. Did you have to glue the explosive reactive armour on piece by piece?
As an aside, the turret of the T-72 must be really cramped for the crew. It's pretty small.

Hi Dan,
ERA blocks are mostly given in groups and only some are single pieces, so glueing them is really no big deal.

I really enjoy the dust effect on this vehicle. Ammo effects means pigments?

Weathering was done mostly with Ammo Splashes and Mud effects, some pigments were used too.
