Hey guys, I'm currently working on a Miniarm T-72B2 Rogatka conversion based on a Trumpeter T-90A kit. I don't have a spare T-72 entrenching blade so I am considering filling in the holes and having it removed.

I was wondering if any of you had pics of the underside of a T-72 without the entrenching blade or if you would know if the slots would still be present on the underside and would the tubular bars be present or be removed as well?

I appreciate any and all help.

The only time I've seen a T-72 without the blade it was rusting away in a depot. I highly doubt an operational tank, especially a newer Rogatka, wouldn't have the blade. The Trump T-90 kit has a blade, right?

Yeah it comes with one, is just set up abit different. I will just modify it. But still wanted to see if there were any examples out there.
