MIG Productions is known for great details, well they have announced another great conversion, this time taking us into the the Iraqi desert with a popular tank.
MIG Productions has brought us interesting conversions in the past, this time is no different. They have announced the updated Iraqi early model T-62 conversion kit, designed for the Trumpeter T-62m72 kit. As usual this should be a high quality conversion kit from MIG, containing both PE and resin parts.

From MIG Productions site:

“The Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein procured and used many hundreds of T-62′s used initially during the eight year long Iran-Iraq war and later in their short lived invasion of Kuwait in 1991. Where in the face of massive allied air superiority the dug in Iraqi tanks of Republican guard units were turned into cinder boxes and those few who survived the onslaught were hauled off to collection points to be examined by the curious allies who had vanquished their opponents in this one sided encounter.

It was in this latter conflict that the Iraqi forces were to lose thousands of main battle tanks including this updated early T-62 variant which utilised a T-55 machine gun cupola mounted over the flat loaders hatch and armed with a Chinese copy of the DSHK 12.7 mm AA gun, a set of Chinese style saw tooth side skirts, a pair of late model track tensioners and a modern T-62 m side stowage zip box. Included in this conversion kit is a set of T-62 side fuel cells and fuel cell connectors.”

There kit is available now.

Hi Kevin, No release date? Mine was sent out early January, I've had it for about a month now. Very nice kit, lots of soldering to do for those skirts though, which I didn't know in advance. Oh well, it'll finally get me soldering... Olaf
