Cheats  . It's like not adding the interior that's sometimes in the box

The T72B3 that participated in the tank Biathlon did not carry the fuel drums or the de-ditching log . I modified the kit parts to represent what I saw in the pics of the tank in the contest '

I'm sure I have heard that this is done to give allround fire for the main gun. Otherwise the droptanks get in the waay when traversing through 360°, you lose the target when reaching the droptanks  .

Paul good reasoning . I didn't see the unditching log or the tow cables either . Probably they would be considered useless for the competition .

Since speed is a big factor in this, I'd think anything that could be removed with in reason to save weight would be a good thing.
