Hello everybody,

please have a look at my T-72B model 1989 or also known as T-72BM.

After looking at others' work for a long time, I finally decided to share my own work. This is the Tamiya T-72, plus MiniArm T-72BM Conversion and Modelkasten T-72 tracks. Its supposably representing Russian army use of this tank in Chechnya.Painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with oil and pigments. I was greatly inspired by Guido Adorno's excellent built of the same subject. It took me 3 months to build, paint and finish. Also it's my wife's favorite one too.

Any comments are welcome.

Great build and thanks for the pics.

Really nice work! The painting and weathering looks for a dusty Chechen summer. This is another model on my 'to-do' list, after the T-90 and T-72A........
