Which version of the T62 did the Syrians use in the 73 war?

T-62A certainly. I think most were received not long before the war, so probably not much if any of the early versions, as the Syrians and Egyptians had persuaded the USSR to provide up to date kit rather than old stuff after the 1967 debacle.

Models 1972 (T-62A) and 1967 fore sure. I can highly recommend this book:

Is Trumpeter the best T62A at this time?

In 1/35th scale? For sure! ( since as far as I know its a choice between that kit and the 70's vintage Tamiya one..)
Maybe if Miniart gets up to T-62's it will be different, but for now. It's Trumpeter in 1/35.

1/72? I dunno.
