Hi guys,
I am looking for any extra's (aftermarket) for the (Tamiya) T72 but extra's for the Dragon T72 are also very welcome if I can use them on the Tamiya T72.
TIA,
Marc

Hi
what are you looking for precisely ?
There are barrels, full turrets, tracks, AA MG and all of these from different manufacturers.
Could you focus your need so as we can help you more ?

JS-models makes a resin turret, Finnish storage boxes and a gun barrel for Tamiya's T-72.
Reviews can be found here
These items can be purchased at Martti Kuivalainen's web store Here
Click at "made in Finland" and then JS-models.
At least Eduard makes a PE set for both Tamiya and Dragon kits. Aluminium barrels are available from several companies.

Yes, there is much that can be done to the Tamiya T-72. If you can tell us what your plans are, we may be able to advise you better.
For example, the turret onthe Tamiya kit needs to either be reworked or replaced. There are at least 6 companies that do/have made good replacment turrets for this...and some make more than 1 turret!

Tracks: modelKasten (Plastic indy link) or Fruilisimo (metal indy link) Take your pick or pick your poison! :-)
Yes, the Tucha launchers are standard for most Russian vehicles...and they will be correct for the T-72.
PE: Best bet is for the Eduard Set. They have a "full" set of PE and a Zoom set with a few select items, like the deck screens.
No extra Ammo I have seen...anyone?
Modelpoint US may have some interesting extra's for you to check out.
Otherwise, that is all I can think of.
