All but the Tamiya T-72 was designed before the Soviet Union collapsed and are really full of errors. Personally I'd wait for the Meng T-72 or grab the Tamiya one which is apparently accurate for a specific East German version.

Okay let me put it this way. The ESCI/ERTL/AMT kits are all apparently from the same mold which is possibly the Zvezda also.

Since I know nothing about modern Russian tanks, and it sounds from comments they changed versions at the drop of a hat, so what version is this kit supposed to be?

What workable tracks would be correct (and cheap) for this kit?

Is it Russian, Iraqi, Polish???

I can't find any reviews for this kit anywhere....

It's supposed to be "Soviet" :woot.gif: The kit is so old that it's made with no real references available. The Zvezda is the Dragon molds, so not the same and probably better. Personally I'd go with Trumpeter or the new Meng, if I'd be building the ESCI/ERTL/AMT one I'd just not care what it is trying to be and build it generic soviet, just not worth the headache to go accurate with it.

Here's a thread that mentions the kits, the thread predates the Trumpeter and Meng offerings
