Hey guys, I just had a quick question. I bought a 1/35 T-72 from Hobby Lobby the other day, and it is boxed by Hobby Craft, but apparently is a Trumpeter kit. After looking it over, it seems like a very nice kit. My question is this. Does anyone make a PE set for this kit, or if not, could I use the Eduard set (35434) made for the Tamiya kit? If so I was going to get the fruils too ....and so my chronic AMS strikes again, and again, and again.............

sorry don't know if the eduard set will fit but most parts from the eduard set are extra details so I guess you could use it.
Other detailsets;
- yes, fruil tracks but also from Model kasten. a matter of preference.
- engine compartment from Verlinden Productions, designed for the Tamiya but doesn't fit quit well on that one either.
- a metal barrel from Eduard. It's a real beauty !

hope this helps

Depends on which version you are doing and how much you want to spend, but Model Point makes barrels and resin turrets. The Model point smoke launchers and antennae are great too!
They're very nice and while a bit expensive they are worth what you pay for.

Armor track makes a link to link plastic track with resin sprockets.

hth,
Mike
