Very nicely done, I've heard there were accuraccy problems but it looks like a T72 to me. Any issues with the kit, or advice?

very nice T72! Accuracy issues aside for a moment, you have achieved a very realistic and good looking finish on this. I like the subtle weathering and tonal variations, on what otherwise could be a quite plain bland base colour. Real nice work!

Hello, HuangHe
It is excellent model - and it has the best painting which I could see on models to modern Russian technics! I with pleasure looked at it. Thanks!

yes,

this looks really great. Accuracy problems, well, look in the Russo/Soviet forums and you will find a lot of info about that. Biggest issue is the extra steel on the glacis plate, it shouldn't be there. If you know the tank a bit, you can see that the turret shape is wrong.

But as said already before, it looks like a T-72 and the paint/weathering is very realistic.

good work

Thanks for your Advice,Tamiya T-72 turret have too many wrongsCI had to make it out of box.I hope in the future, manufacturers will have introduced a new model to replace this.

Thanks for all of your recognition and praise.
