Hi all,
this is the Polish improved variant of the T-72 i.e. the PT-91.
The conversion is from Modelkrak and is designed for the Tamiya kit. It depicts the early version of this MBT.
A certain amount of work is necessary to get a good rendition of the original vehicle as Modelkrak seems to have been confused by the various production batches.
I sanded away the turret roof tiles and replaced them by new ones made of plastic card bit (4x4mm) matching the correct pattern.
I added the missing tiles on the hull glacis tooafter of course having removed the extra armor plate of the Tamiya kit.





The skirts are provided by Modelkrak and only require to cut off the first section of the Tamiya ones to be glued on the resin parts.

I hope you'll like it.
Any comments welcome and BTW I'm still looking for a comprehensive camo scheme (not provided by Modelkrak)

Wow, that is a real mean looking Sci-fi turret :-)

So we are in the T72 mood Olivier? :-) I really like this conversion (though I have never seen it before )

Keep us updated!
