Check out this link, second picture from the top:

Fab-u-louse! I have been waiting for one of these in plastic for a LONG time. I still have the one I built from the SP Designs conversion, but I want another crack at it. Looks like Trumpy is holding true with their promise to bring out the T-62 variants in spades...

mmmm, yummy more plastic for fun, I was suspicious about this after the Machine Burro conversion set released, as this company seems to belong to trumpeter.

really nice to see it soon

thanks Jacques

That's great news Jacques

...but I'll be happier if Trumpeter will bring out also the T72 family....

Cheers

When I had the page translated it said "The conversion is a resin kit"?? Could this pic be of the Machine Burro conversion kit?

I was hoping it was a complete plastic variant

Scott- How is the quality of the kit? In the picture everything looks really crisp.

Im looking forward to some T-72s as well like Mauro.......

And I'll be getting the BTR-60 for sure.

Wonder if Trumpeter will box it with a T-62 kit. Otherwise, how to get the IT-1? And Again, in resin. Sigh. Oh well.

Its really nice, not much in the way of flash and castings are very well done. Only complaint is that they give you PE bolt heads that are about size of point of a very sharp pencil!

Can get it from HobbyEasy.com, the site is a little slow, but I haven't had any issues with them getting stuff. The price is very reasonable too...
