When it rains, it pours... Today is obviously a day to announce new kits, hopefully not as April Fool's Day joke. Trumpeter added two new releases to their FB page: both modern Russian and both in 1/35 scale.

I guess Trumpy can't let Meng have all the glory.

I think that according to picture this is a T-72B4. Notice the difference in the back of the turret according to the following pictures: T-72B3 http://www.miniarm.com/enlarge/142120643751706.jpg AND T-72B4 http://www.miniarm.com/enlarge/142120656779104.jpg

It's called a B3M on the box, not B3. And the B3M is also referred to as B4, so no problem.

So T-72B3M and T-72B4 are the same variants ? If so, the T-72B3 variant announced in their catalogue see below http://scalemodels.ru/modules/news/img_9587_1449141356_49.jpg.html is different and same as the new Meng announcement?

Should we expect more T-72 variants?
