Tamiya's T-72 is supposed to be an M1 (or T-72A). However, the turret is a bit of a mixed bag, being closer to a T-72G/M than an M1. The Russians have both the T-72AV and T-72BV, with different ERA patterns, but you'd have to get a new turret, depending on how accurate you want to be...

Hi mikeli125!
