Thanks Jeremy:)

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

VERY NICE TANK!

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

That gun looks huge, prob' because the turret is so small compared to NATO MBT's

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

Fokke:

Great looking tank! How did you do it?

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

I made it from original rusian drawing of T 72 all the body is from leksan and epoxi resin

beast of war

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

In The film beast of war was T 64 tank :D

I made the tracks of epoxi resin with silikon mold

"And whats the tank next to it in the last photo? "
This is Pantera tank from WW2

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

Very good. Nice to see more MODERN armor aout there. You said the tracks are cast out of resin? I take it you painted them silver then.

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

No ,I painted the rezin and after I pour in silicon mold.

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

Thats what i thought. How does the resin stand up to use?

BTW how are things for you in Sofia? I was in Plovdiv back in July last year. Very nice place and beautiful countryside. Good food too.

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

Your very welcome. I am in america now BUT i did enjoy the time i was in Bulgaria. I was there with the USAF.

BTW if you do start to have trouble with the resin tracks wearing down i do know a place where you can get 1/8 scale metal tracks for your T-72. This site sells a 1/8 t-80 but patterened their tracks after the T-72 tracks so they should fit on yours.
If you like i can PM you the link.

Actualy I dont have a problem with resin ,the resin is very strong.I put in resin aluminiu ashes( dust)and is very strong

USAF???? you are military??
I have a link of germany www.bigtank.de there have a T 80 too.

Whu link you have??

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

If you like i can PM you the link.


With pleasure:D

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

Here is the main producer and distributor that sells to Bigtank.de and Mark-1 tank. They also supply a US distributor and a japanese one. You can order directly from here though. They are located in Moscow but the tanks are molded in Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad).

RE: RC T-72 complete
 

I have not heard of the BTR-90. I am familiar with the 60, 70 and 80. I always wanted to get one if i move back to florida. Since its amphibious if i get stuck in traffic i could just hop into the nearest river and cut around it all.
Do you hve any pictures of the 90?
