The track assembly takes up a lot of the 1000+ parts, but what else? Does it come with an interior?

Hi Everybody;

"Yea"---Trumpeter is getting Good at offering A Gaggle of A type of vehicle, and if you are not into the Multi-part track thing; Then stay away from some of there kits that offer seperate track lenghts with individual gide teeth Trumpy does not offer vehicle with Interior's ! Atleast Not Yet ! I Built the T-72m4cz and replaced the kit's track with Tamiya RMSH track's from there T-72 which were A perfect fit.

CHEERS; MIKE.

That light green on the tank biathlon painted one is pretty bright:

Am I right in thinking that the grey/black and the brown/tan black options are actually B3's?

I have not been able to find any online detailed review of this kit.

According to online info the real vehicle has a new gun, new engine, commander's independent sight and like the B3 version the same Sosna gunner's sight and new type of reactive armor.

My questions are
Should the engine deck, the main gun and the ERA be different from that of the B3 versions? From online photos, it doesn't seem noticeably different.

Furthermore, online picturs of later version of the B3M have additional ERA boxes on the back sides of the turret and cage or grill armor at the back of the turret and rear part of the side skirts. Does the Trumpeter kit have these later features?
