About product

Russian Main Battle Tank T-72B3 (1:72, Meng)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Russian modernized main battle tank of the T-72B3 family in 1:72 scale from Meng. The model uses a modular concept with a fast and easy build and faithfully captures the external features of the real vehicle including the explosive reactive armor on the turret and hull. Given the small 1:72 scale, count on small parts: precision, good lighting and tweezers pay off. Check the exact contents of the package and the exact sub-version designation of this item against the manufacturer's part number.

The real subject

The T-72B3 is a modernized variant of the proven Soviet, later Russian, T-72 main battle tank. The modernization was meant to raise the combat value of an older chassis at a relatively low cost: it brings a new fire control system, a more powerful engine unit and added explosive reactive armor against shaped-charge projectiles. Tanks of this family are among the most numerous modernized machines of the Russian armed forces and have been widely used in modern conflicts.

Building and painting tips

First assemble and paint the running gear and the lower parts of the hull, where work is harder once the model is finished. Cut the small parts off carefully and glue them with a thin modeling cement for plastic; move the small parts with tweezers. Apply primer and the base color with an airbrush, and after a gloss coat apply the decals. Pick out the panel lines and details with a wash, emphasize the edges with dry-brushing and use pigments to create mud and dust effects matching field service.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern Russian armored vehicles
  • Anyone interested in modernized tanks of the T-72 family
  • Modelers who get on with the smaller 1:72 scale and a faster build
  • Builders who will appreciate a modular design for easier assembly

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