The Tamiya 1/35 Russian T-72M1 Main Battle Tank (35160) reproduces the Cold War workhorse of the Soviet and Warsaw Pact armies — the T-72 in its M1 export configuration that was supplied widely to Middle Eastern and Third World clients. The T-72 combined a powerful 125mm smoothbore gun, effective armour, and automatic loader in a compact package, and it served as Iraq's primary armour during Desert Storm — where it met its match against the M1A1 Abrams and Challenger 1.

Tamiya's 1/35 kit captures the T-72M1's low profile, distinctive mushroom-shaped turret, and characteristic running gear with good detail.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate T-72M1 with 125mm 2A46 smoothbore gun
• Distinctive low-profile turret and Soviet-style ERA packages
• Detailed running gear with torsion bar suspension
• Soviet/Warsaw Pact and export nation marking options
• An important Cold War MBT subject for the collection
