T-62M

Very well done conversion and detailling of the T-62! Also the painting and weathering! Thank you very much for sharing! From which manufacturer is the mine plough? Is it the SKIF one?

- Tamiya 1/35 T-62A base kit - SP Desings T-62M m2005 conversion - Model Point metal barrel - SP Desings T-72 tracks - SKIF KMT-6 mineplow - various scratchbuilt details (Fuel lines, attachment lugs for fuel drum holders, etc..) Thanks

Hey Henk, this might fit better over in the Russio-Soviet forum!

very nice..unusual added armor on turret. the space between them is intriguing. thanks for sharing.

Hy Jacques! Wow! Im glad to see this model finished! Now thats a mean looking beast! Very well done, especially how you tackled the conversion! Your paint and weathering job is amazing as well! Keep them commin´ Best regards, Andy T.

Probably more to keep costs down by making the new ERA panels as easy to retrofit as possible. And with them all near the same size, manufacturing costs can be lowereed as well while increasing the survivability of the tank by a HUGE number against HEAT rounds/missiles and a comfortable amount against SABOT. Remember, these packages are designed to go up against M-48/60/Type 59/T-62-72/Merkava 1/2 type of threats, not the latest and greatest MBT's. This makes a pocket dictator a lot more dangerous to the professional armies of the world and seriously beefs up obsolescent reserve fleets. It isn't just a new ERA package, it is a new FCS as well. It has been likened to bringing the T-62 up to the level of the M-60 RISE but for a fraction of the cost of buying a M-60 RISE. Now, to be fair, noone has bought any of these conversions that I know of, so it must not be all THAT great. But it looks cool. I would drive one around if they gave me one!

Excellent job!! Rob

Is that not the best way? No parking tickets either...
