T-72B3 Question

Pekedog · Post by **Pekedog** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 9:25 pm

Do you think the hull and hatch with AAMG of a W67 T-90 plus the turret of a W101 T-72 TUSK makes an acceptable T-72B3?

Thanks

Thanks

I went ahead and ordered the parts to make the T-72B3s. I am planning to have a 'galvanized' battalion of T-90/T-72B3. I just need to swap out the turret to have it represent either mark.

Thanks again
Wally

Turrets (from W101 pack) arrived today and I modified a turret to resemble a T72B3. Using photos off the Internet as a guide, I removed the RPG screen from the back of the turret, leaving the three storage bins. Filed those to shape and added a styrene rod 'snorkel' to the back bin. I left the one sensor mast that is on the turret. On the T72B3 it should be offset to port a little.

On the W101 turret there is a sensor box immediately behind the main gun. I have not seen this on any T72B3 photos but did see it on a sketch. I choose to remove it and the shielding for the wire running to it. This was the only tricky part of conversion.

Finally I had to add one Kontact ERA wedge between the last wedge on starboard side of turret and the bank of smoke grenade launchers. I used sheet plastic for this

Add on a machine gun/hatch part from W67 and a W67 hull and that's it.

Here are some photos of one of my T72B3s
