T-72B1 Main Battle Tank.
I've been look forward to build this T-72 version for a while now. After building the Miniarm T-64B a few years back I was so impressed with the Miniarm kits I've purchased a few of their other kits as well. This T-72B version with Kontakt 3 protective tiles (T-72B1) has seen action in Chechnya during the 1990's and lately in 2008 these tanks have been used by the Russians and Georgians in the South Ossetia dispute. The T-72B1 is surpassed by tanks such as the T-72BM and the T-90 but it's still very much in widespread use.

The last day of the year 2009 has arrived and finally an update of the site. Sorry, I've been very busy with work and other more urgent business which has kept me away from modelling for quite a while. The T-80UM has been abandoned due to a dramatic lack of interest. Painting the model turned into a headache and that was a clear indication to turn my attention to the VT-34. So after a hiatus of 2 months I started where I left of. The model was airbrushed in it's base color so all that was left was a bit of weathering. Just a bit... yeah right. Well, that bit took almost the entire holiday season but it's time well spent I think.

Summer is almost at it's end. And what a summer it has been! Quite a few sunny and hot days this year and my modelling came to a complete standstil. I started working on the VT-34 a couple of weeks ago and this week the build was finally completed. The anchor spade took a bit more time to complete but I think it turned out great. This week my modelling club KMK is having it's annual show and the model will be present there. I'm very curious on what people will think of it.
