The MB models turret is better than the DML kit offerings, but not nearly as good as the Miniarm corrections. Also, it is a bear to make workable on the Tamiya T-72 chassis.

I don't know that turret, but if it is a "G/M" it is not situable for a Tamiya hull, the Tamiya hull has the extra plate welded on the glacis. AFAIK this is a Russian T-72M1 feature, T-72G/M is an export version (or was it licensed-built in Poland/Czechslovakia T-72?). Best regards.

José.

Thanks a lot!

it was only that its more cheaper than miniarm offers, miniarm is really good but unfortunately not all my tanks can have them, hope SP designs came with cheaper good versions as with their T-80's

Sergej is working on a T-72 turret/upper hull but it is a lower priority than his T-64 projects.
