Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

Yeah- quite possibly. The previous times we heard the T-14 was there or on the way were incorrect so this could be a similar situation. I googled it when I saw the pic- some sites say it is, some say it isn’t which was similar to the T-14 situation. I guess I should have said ‘supposedly on its way to Ukraine.’

I would think that if these new Russian vehicles are fairly “ok” that we will see them sometime soon as they might be scrapping the barrel soon as far as vehicles go.

Seriously one of the top ten of the funniest middle finger moments yet.

Hey, I have that radio at home! I use it for working at a beach. Decent but absolute crap durability, no encryption, pretty crappy range, the mic and speaker pretty much just work… Only good thing about them is that they’re cheap. About $30 USD.

Do you want Trench Foot? Because that’s how you get Trench Foot.

grabbed a 3rd one (not afraid of the hull modification) to do a what if with novorossya colors on its ERA inspired by this one (I wrote a reader mail for truck and tank magazine on it since they misidentified it as a B3). T-72B Obr. 1989 ∙ #12457 ∙ WarSpotting — documenting material losses in Russo-Ukrainian war


I wonder, can one get models/decals in europe from the website I-modelist.com?
Thanks for the answers.

That’s a lot of modification to the hull and turret!

I thought only the hull needed modification from the britmodeller thread? Zvezda T 72B3 1/72 scale……. Oh dear! - AFV Modern - Britmodeller.com

Somewhere in Russia, Bumerang transported by train. Images from twitter
I will not hurry up to say they are being delivered anywhere near Ukraine, so this might probably be out of topic.



But it’s interesting that at least 5 or 6 seem to be fully built.
If they are in service-ready condition is another thing…

I assumed you were wanting to make the T 72B obr 1989 in the photo? Only the hull needs modifications to a B3 but the Photo is a whole new kettle of fish.

Ah, I think you’ll find it identifies as a Leopard.

B3 for all of them, it’s more of something inspired by this B obr 1989. On the B3 what if, the kontakt 5 will have the colors of one of the novorossya concept flags proposed for the contest.

I might get more and do one of them as captured by ukraine too.

My mistake, not the first and not my last​:joy::joy:

“identifies” as defined by Russia. :crazy_face:
