Hi all,
for one of my next projects I´m gathering information. Because I´m not a spcialist in russo-soviet armor maybe somebody from the forum can help me with T-72s from India.

- Which mine plough was used?
- Is the mine-plough fitted with some kind of "protector"?
- Where can I get more information or reference pics of this mine-plough.
- Is there a Kit in 1/35 available for this mine-plough?

Thanks in advance

Hi, perhaps this "model-kit" could help.

I´m not sure, which one is used, but also a page with "KMT-mine-ploughs" exists.

Servus Sören,
thanks a lot for the information. I'll take a closer look at that.
danke für den Tipp - monduni bestell ich ab und zu - das könnte helfen.

The Indian Army T-72 is using a KMT mineplow. The "cover" over the plow is just a protector device.

The SKIF kit is the only one available. It is somewhat crude, but it is the only kit avaiable and it can be improved to look very good.

Good luck.

Hi Jacques,
thank you for this information. I will do my research on KMT for this project.

cheers
Walter

Just to be sure, I think it is a KMT-4 mine plow. There are several types. Some setups, though not what you have pictured, even combine plows and rollers. Research will clear this up.
