Hello, since trumpeter released this box: (ref 01547)

I got to wonder were does it come from?

Thanks for your answer and for the enigma,I think I'll go with the safe polish miniart because I'm not sure about the czechoslovakian base engima

Hi;

What you have is A Iraqi based T-62 with A KMT-4 mine Plow ! The T-62 like the other modified T-54,55s,59s were retrofitted with armor add on around the Luna search light.
The Chinese Type-59s were most often seen with more of the added features than some of the others !!

CHEERS; MIKE.

I noticed that on some of the Iraqi T62's, there were rows of welds on the turret roof that gave an appearance of a plowed field. why was this? I saw them on various T62's and they were always located at the same point on the turret roof.

Hi;

Only the Iraqi themselves could answer that ! At the Time leading up to the Gulf War, they were into experimenting with all kinds of Vehicles ! Most items that were up/dated with were the Vehicles that had Chinese made items like the Lazer Range Finders that were seen on some T-54/55s !! So anything is possible

CHEERS; MIKE.

interesting, I also readed that some of them got north korean range finder

UGH!! Some I looked through had the same sight I had in my M60A1 or at least a twin of it.
