I needed to take a break from the Carro Veloce. So a quick build will do just that. This is Zvezda's T 72b.  It builds up nicely and fast. Detail is good although some parts are on the thick side, but still i think it looks good. So here is where i am after a couple of hours work.   What i want to build is an ex Russian tank in use by the Ukrainian army. The kit comes as a b version. I want to build an AV version. Ukraine didn't have any, but captured a number of these. I have some extra ERA bricks in the spare box, so i will attempt it.... Wish me luck.   |

John those kits are very good, and I am sure you will succeed in making the captured version  |

Excellent choice, John, and these kits do build up into a respectable looking T-72. It will look great as the now one of many, under new management with the Ukrainian Army.

Thank you Gents. I love the simplicity of these kits. And let's face it. They are reasonably priced as well. So after some more work it looked like this.   And some primer was sprayed. I think it looks good.  |

John, if I remember correctly the only point of contention on the kit was the upper track pins stick out too far and push out the side skirts. You may have to just clip or sand the edges of the pins so they clear the skirts.

That was fast !! Those Zvezda kits are quite fun to build despite their age.
Looking great !
