Great just sweet!!!!!

T-64 is sweet but a decent new tooled T-72 is waitted for more then 20years(since the 1992 tamiya T-72 release)


Please trumpeter grand our wishes!!!!!! And thank you trumpeter for occupying the cold war soviet armory, let tamiya and HK dragon know that cold war Soviet armor still got fans!!!!!!!!

I look at it this way- T-62, T-64...surely it is a progression thing like their BTR's- it would be logical to assume the T-72 and T-80 are in the pipeline...at least I really hope so !

What, no love for the T-80 series? That's what I'm praying Trumpeter does next. At least there is a decent T-72 out there, the T-80 kits are all just junk. Throw an SP Designs conversion/update kit at the Skif one and you get something reasonable but there is a crying need for one in plastic.

Is that turret in actual production, or is this another 'seen at one Arms show, but never bought by anyone' kind of thing.

Is the turret on the BTR the same as mounted on the MTLB series?

Is that turret mounted onto other vehicles? BTR-70-80?

my google-fu is a bit weak this morning, and most of the BTR 60PB upgraded hits just link to wikipedia pages..

Loving the new Russian/Soviet armor Trumpeter, keep them coming.

Mike- I believe the turret is a BPPU-1 which is sometimes seen on MTLB's as you said and it is also mounted as standard on the BTR-80A. It can also be mounted on the BTR-70 and some other Russian and one or two Western vehicles.

It isn't a 'once at an arms show' affair either- its part of an ongoing BTR-60 upgrade program by Arzamas.

I don't reckon it is just your 'google-fu' either- pics and good details seem to be quite thin on the ground when it comes to this variant.

Anyway, I hope this helps a bit.
