Hello,
I am looking for a replacement gun/mantlet for Meng's 1/35 T-72b3. Is there one available specifically for this kit?
Erik

Hi Erik;

I don't know of A mantlet that's made esp; fot the B3.
If I may ask; what's wrong with the kits mantlet !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hi Mike,
There's nothing wrong with the kit mantlet other than it appears to hold the main gun at an elevated position. I prefer the gun to be horizontal. I can always modify the kit part if no replacement is available.
Erik

Hi Erik;

"Yea"--I don't like them at A eleavated angle either. And I think you are going to have to modify the kit's part ! Its funny that with all of the AM stuff we have these days, that No one makes Mantlets for the T-72, altho Trumpeter gives you different mantlets just for that option.
I have Wanted the T-72 mantlet with out the canvas cover for the T-72s that I made that were Brewed Up !!

CHEERS; MIKE.
