hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of a t 72 in the Crimean crisis that I can use as a reference. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the picture easyco69, would you happen to know how I can scratch build the ERA or where I can find AM ERA, either PE or resin? Thanks again.

@fireontheway: thank you for the clarification.

Sorry I forgot to add this to my original post, but the reason I am taking this project on is because I just saw Trumpeter's new T-72 kit and they featured markings for a vehicle in the Crimean Crisis, thus I was wondering about the feasibility of this option. Thanks again everyone.

T-72 in Trumpeter kit has markings for separatists and regular Ukr army, not "Crimea".

Excuse me, but T-72 tanks were not involved in the Crimean crisis. They were not there. They have in the Donbass.

Thank you for the clarification @Bizarre

@H.P I really love the first picture. The camo scheme is just beautiful. Would you be able to post more pictures of T-72s with the same ERA arrangement as the first picture. I would really appreciate it if you could. Thank you so much for all your help.

You're welcome

I guess the pictured tank is a T-72BV. Here are two more that belong to the pro-Russian separatists :

Thanks again H.P; I love the way each ERA tile is more or less individually colored differently. I was wondering if I could inconvenience you with another request: I was wondering if you could post additional pictures of a T 72 in the same region but without any ERA attached? Thank you so much for your help and I do apologize for the inconvenience. I really appreciate all the help that you have given me

The only pics I've found are these two that show T-72's (T-72A ? ) delivered to Ukraine by Hungary in August 2014.

To be honest I can't assure you this story is 100% true . It looks like the contreversy began with this article from a Hungarian website :

http://www.hidfo.net.ru/2014/08/12/hulladekvas-araert-eladott-honvedsegi-harckocsik-utban-az-ukrajnai-haboru-fele

The official denial :

Just choose your side
