About product

Soviet T-62 tank (1:72, Zvezda)

An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale from Zvezda. The model captures the Soviet T-62 medium tank; unusually for Zvezda it comes with link-and-length track links (assembled from segments) and a decal sheet with general Soviet markings (numbers and stars). The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

The T-62 was a Soviet medium tank based on the proven T-55, which entered service at the beginning of the 1960s. Its main novelty was the 115 mm U-5TS smoothbore gun, which made it the first production tank in the world with a smooth bore. The Soviet Union built tens of thousands of them and the T-62 spread to many armies all over the world, where it took part in many conflicts of the Cold War and later.

Building and painting tips

In the small 1:72 scale, glue the parts accurately and with a light touch using a thin cement for plastic. Assemble the link-and-length track links carefully so that the track wraps around the wheels naturally. Apply a primer and paint with an airbrush; a uniform green shade is typical of Soviet vehicles. Bring out the recesses and details with a dark wash, the edges with a dry brush, and dust the running gear with dust and mud pigments.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of Soviet Cold War armored vehicles
  • For modelers working in the smaller 1:72 scale
  • For collectors and builders of dioramas with columns of vehicles
  • For beginning as well as moderately advanced builders

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was the first production tank in the world to be given a smoothbore gun, specifically the 115 mm U-5TS. In design it was based on the earlier T-55.

It comes with link-and-length track links, that is assembled from segments. That is unusual for Zvezda and allows a more faithful track sag than one-piece rubber tracks.

Yes, with some care. It is the smaller 1:72 scale with a build of medium difficulty, which a moderately advanced beginner can manage.
