Hey all,

I had picked up CMK's update set for the taymia T-72. I am not some huge russian armor expert, but would like to use this set and make a accurate T-72 of some kind, preferably with what is in the taymia kit, but if I need to get a turret, im game.

Any good pictures of a Czech T-72? (the fuel drums in the detail set have czech markings)

Thanks
Andy

Hi there,

do you know perhaps for what kind of Czech T-72 the CMK kit was meant?
The Czech ones are not really much different from the Russian ones, until they started with the M4 series.

Cheers,

There is a super book all about the T-72M and T-72M1... I have it at home and am brain farting on the exact name. However I think it is published by wings and wheels.

You absolutely correct. The Wings and Wheels Productions book on the T-72 is like the bible on the tank. Its expensive but well worth it if you are into detail photos and super detailing a model. Great book!

I'd get another turret for sure. Either the Blast models one, or the JS models one, both are good. The Tamiya turret is misshaped. JS models is available here:

Andy, This is a nice set. It's one of my current projects using the kit's turret and Eduard P/E set with some Fruil tracks. I just reworked the turret shape - after you add the Tucha smoke tubes and CMK bins its hard to see the exact shape. I would stay away from the Eduard barrel and go for the Modelpoint ones....

You could also model it as Polish or get the SP designs front glacis w/o applique, or just get craZy and grind it off.



I wouldn't say the Wings and Wheels publications aare the Bible of T72s - It is good, but nothing like the Tankmaster edition (In Russian )
