Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

The T62’s would be least valuable if ownership changed.

Not necessarily, they could be used for rear guard roles freeing up current assists to be used on the front line thereby making them a valuable assist.

The T55/M55s is an earlier version of the M84?

The M-84 is based on the T-72M…Not the same family tree

Thanks! Details appreciated.

As noted, the M-55S is a significant modernization of the T-55, so nothing to do with the M84. It does use the 105mm L7, which probably came from Israel since Elbit was one of the contractors. Supposedly, Ukraine is getting 28 of the 30 that Slovenia has in storage.

No 1/35 kits that I know of, other then the conversion for the Tamiya T-55 produced by AEF Designs, long out of production and not worth searching out given its quality (like many AEF products).

France will send AMX-10 RC wheeled tank destroyers to Ukraine

Along with ACMAT Bastion APC’s

No delivery date or quantities though…

According to the caption, this one is a destroyed Russian T-90S

I wonder where it could come from…

I love the “low-rider” look from the “heat treated” torsion bar suspension …

I want to see some T-90S tanks intact for model reference.

What kind of engineering vehicle is this?

[Uncle-Heavy]

BAT-2
Resin kit was made by PanzerShop (PS35C144HT)
Currently back again as a limited edition

Russian Macho Movie with irritating music:

Combat Heavy Engineering Vehicle - BAT-2

includes a jump scene (apparently mandatory in Russian tank promotion videos)

More realistic video

БАТ-2

Clearing a lane to assist in fighting a forest fire

Clearing snow and towing trucks. The blade isn’t optimal for snow clearing

БАТ-2 дає жару !

[Arch-Stanton]

Thanks, found it in the Panzer Shop store on eBay:

BAT-2

Nice, but out of my price range.

[Uncle-Heavy]

Ummm …, it IS expensive
on the other hand it is “only” 4 or 5 “normal” tank kits
so it comes down to a matter of priorities.

It’s just like an American promotional video.
