Modelcollect UA72104 Soviet T-72B1 with ERA Main Battle Tank 1988 (1/72)

The Modelcollect UA72104 plastic model kit represents one of the most recognizable tanks of the modern era – the Soviet T-72B1 with ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour) system. The model is produced in 1:72 scale, allowing for reproduction of the details characteristic for this T-72 variant and excellent presentation in historical dioramas or collections of armored vehicles.

The original T-72B1 entered service in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. This tank is an improved version of its predecessors, equipped with additional Kontakt-1 reactive armor panels, which significantly increased protection against shaped-charge munitions and guided anti-tank missiles. Tanks of this type were widely used during the Cold War and also participated in conflicts in the Middle East and the former Soviet republics.

Modelcollect UA72104 is a proposal for fans of armored vehicles from the Cold War and modern times. The kit is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring precise details and a sturdy construction. You can expect a very accurately reproduced hull and turret silhouette, ERA system elements, and armament – including a replica of the main gun, mantlet, hatches, and transport handles. However, the manufacturer did not include resin or metal parts, nor photo-etched brass details, so assembly is based solely on plastic components.
