I just started working on my ex-Esci Italeri T-62 in 1/72 scale with Eduard photo etch (#72-001). Good eye test kit that will go nicely with my 1/72 scale M1.

Sabot,
Let us know how this goes. As you know, I am contemplating diving into braille scale, and I am looking for advice on what kits and AM will give good results. I am very interested in how this project turns out.

I just got back from my local shop that has the best selection of armor kits and AM. They had some new 1/72 scale Eduard PE sets that included zimmerit. Beautifully done. I picked up some 1/72 scale Russian trucks to go with the T-62. Trumpeter makes them and they are nicely done as well. Many were on sale for $3.95, regularly $6.95. I picked up the Revell of Germany Marder 1A3 with troops for only $4.95 (regularly $11.95). I picked up the Marder the other day without troops for $7.75, so I had to grab another.
The Bradley mentioned in other posts is well worth the $10 asking price. I haven't checked out the complete line of new Eduard PE for the 1/72 scale kits, but it looks to be a winning line.
