So im thinking about making a diorama with trumpeter's t-62 ERA mod 1972. Anyone has photo of these modifications in combat ? And maybe their camo schemes ?

I don't think that particular version of the T-62M has ever seen combat. It wasn't very common.

These tanks were cconsidered "third wave" tanks and were stationed in the wider Caucasus region. After thw resolution of the USSR, these tanks passed on to the succesor states (mainly Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Several of these tanks were used in the Nagorno - Karabach conflict, mainly by the Armenians.
Alas, this war was one of the least photo covered wars, and there aren't many photos.
Maybe if you google it...

i did, but most of them are t-72s or the ancient t-55s. looks like the t-62 with era blocks are not that common in combats. I guess i have to revalue my options :/

I have the same kit WIP and it makes me wondering, that there's no decals at all in the box? If I make it as Iraq version, did't they have any markings on those tanks back then?

I don't think the Iraqi's had this version. I think I remember someone on this forum mentioning it was simply a what-if decal option.

Syria has upgraded some of their T-62 mod.1972 with field applied armor but have not seen any ERA armor on any Syrian T-62s.
