## Description

Modern Russian tanks are well known for superb mobility and a distinctive, low silhouette, offering as small a target as possible on the battlefield. In the late 1960's, the highly sophisticated T64 tank was produced to replace the Soviets T62 main battle tank. The T64 had the advanced feature of automatic canon loading, that eliminated the requirement for a loader, reducing the crew from four men to three. The T-64 tank; however, proved to be unreliable due to its complicated mechanics and this led to the development of the T72 tank. The T72, despite its close external resemblance to the T-64, was created in an attempt to simplify the overall design; improve its maintenance capability; and to also enhance productivity. The refined type 2A46 125mm gun with its auto-loading system is capable of firing high explosive or hollow-charge, armor-piercing ammunition. The powerplant is a type V-46, V-12 cylinder, multi-fuel engine. The standard production designated T72M1 uses reinforced frontal armor and incorporates a laser range finder. This versatile tank, which began service a the beginning of the 1970s has been in production for many years and had been license produced in many of the Warsaw Pact countries. Even during the 1980's when a new T80 main battle tank was introduced to replace the aging T-64, the T-72 series continued to be the centerpiece of the Russian armed forces.

Review: Tamiya quality. - Super good quality, really nice details, especially the casting and weld lines on the turret. Fairly easy to follow instructions and surprisingly simple to put together. But be advised, the whole kit is super simple to put together until you get to the smoke grenade launchers. Omg they will have you ripping your hair out so take your time and really study how they should go on. Other than that, it's a great kit. Also comes with rubber tracks that honestly aren't bad.
Review: Another great Tamiya tank kit - Tamiya's 1/35 T-72 is a pretty good kit for the money. I built one years ago and don't recall rippled rubber skirts or photo etch so maybe some improvements have been made. Vinyl tracks are easy to assemble (connecting the ends and attaching the photo etch will require Crazy Glue). But there are some small and delicate plastic parts so I wouldn't suggest buying this kit for a child. Some have claimed Tamiya's turret isn't shaped accurately but I don't know much about this type. It looks like a T-72 to me. This is far simpler (and less costly) than the T-72 kits many competing companies have produced and some of these can be daunting even to practiced modelers. Those wanting to buy one should consider trying Tamiya's kit first as a "warm up" exercise.
