While i procrastinate on finishing my figures to finalise my T-72B3M, and before finishing my T-80U, I thought I could fit in another version of the T-72 currently used by the Russians and Seperatists in the Ukraine confict.
This particular version is basically an early T-72B3. It doesn't have the Sosnar-U thermal sight on the turret roof , so it still has the L-2AG Lunar-2 IR spot light on the right side of the turret front next to the barrel. It also lacks the 'stand-off' grates and Kontakt -5 side plates seen on the B3M. I will also be adding the external fuel drums on the back for this one.
This will be the tank i will use as a ref for the look(though not using the damaged roof grate armour) while adding the fuel drums on the rear. Of particular interest are the added Kontakt-1 bricks attached to the front of the Kontakt-5 angular bricks on the turret front. Also the damaged rubber side panels and stowage, plus dead leaves.
I will use the decals from this Star decals sheet for the BA version.
While on holidays i managed to do the wheels, chassis and start on the turret.
The rubber on the wheels has some mild damage. I am currently getting 'bogged down' on the 94 small circular PE details that have to go all over the anti- radiation layer on the roof top.
