Just wanted to know if there would be any interest in a T-72 family group build. This would include all variants T-72 to T-72BM to T-90. Recovery vehicles ona T-72 chassis would also be acceptable. (Note: T-80’s of any variant are NOT acceptable because they are of an inherently different design.) I realize there are many GB’s going on right now, so this would be completely open ended. However, there will be a cutoff time for sign up. What do you guys think?
Oh crappie, another tempting group build. Can I do a T-62? just kidding. Could you give a list of the possible tanks for dummies like me? After the T-55 everything is a blur to me. Too bad no T-80’s there are alot of nice T-80 kits
OK, Tamiya makes a T-72 kit as does dragon. Any variant or conversion allowed from various companies is allowed. Basically, if it starts out with a T-72 base, it’s in.
I might be interested but since it’s til the end of the year probably wont be.
Oh yeah, I am definitely interested. I’m still working on other group build projects so later in the year would work well for me.
oh yeah this one sounds tempting![:D]
Worry not fellow Russian fans. There is no end date this group build. However, all members must have registered to participate by the end of august. Then the end date will be whoeevr finishes last.
I did some looking around. I only care about 1/72 but in 1/35 Hobbycraft and Zvesda also make a T-72. For 1/72 offerings, ACE is the only game in town but they have 4 T-72 models: T-72M, T-72B, T-72AV, and M84 (all sources say this is essentially a yugoslav built T-72).
The Tamiya kit is easily the best though. If anyone wants to do something slightly unusual go to missionmodels and search for T-72 and you can get a lot of cool conversions. A bit pricey (88$) but still very cool.
Ok since the end date is when I finish(Ill probably be last) Then I will join with…
I dont know Im going to have to think about what tank I will build… Oh yeah a T-72. Called that one right?
I think I would not mind joining this. I plan on getting a few ACE T-72’s to make into one West German tank and two Iraqi tanks, as well as a couple of the other variants listed above for my Russian Army. So, put me down for three T-72’s in this Build.
OK, you guys have any prferences for start dates? I say a bit later- open ended. [:)]
My suggestion is to give it a few more months. Maybe even find out when most of these are ending and start it then.
