both coming in 35th scale. Based on the high quality of their previous T-72/90 release, This will sure become another great release!

Fantastic!!! I hope these will not be too long in coming, I'll be getting a couple of the AV for sure, maybe more. A lot of photos of them in Ukraine and Syria.

if I'd known about this, I'd not've gone for the miniarm ural/tamiya/verlinden route, and be 300 $s lighter

would it take much to backdate the hull to an early 70's with, hopefully, the miniarm turret? ot gonna be cheap in the US

You'd need to grind off the additional armour on the glacis and restore the missing bar, similar to T-72M:

so it looks like that in SBS or Minarm set:

the tam kit and miniarm ural turret arrived today. already got the verlinden upper hull, which'll take more work that expected, not something I'm up for. right now, I'm stuck in the land of confusion. looking up google for other solutions
