MODERN RUSSIAN ARMOUR - T-72B1 in Ukraine April 2022 (25th Dec update)

[Sharkmouth]

At this point I started on the turned metal barrel from Aber. I did not nee to use the PE clamps and nuts on this one as the tank does not have a thermal cover on the barrel.

@Brokeneagle, be wary that Aber is usually good about machining their details onto their barrels. The may have drilled drainage holes onto the bottom of the thermal sleeves (which are machined on the set I bought).

Thanks Saul, I had noticed those on the barrel and wasn't sure if they were a feature of the covers. Looks like i will need to fill them in.
