I was having a slight case of buyer remorse when I got my ZTZ 99 recently. That told me I really wanted the ZTZ 99A. I started to think about what the difference between the two were. I was happy to see that maybe I could convert my 99 to a 99A with just a few scratch built detail items, that could be installed without doing any modifications to the 99. This is what was involved.

1. The glacis got an overlay plate of the composite armor blocks.

2. The front of the turret could get an angular type nose job add on.

3. The bar armor on the sides of the turret could also be changed to armor blocks.

It all worked out. Now I just hope I can come up with a decent camo paint match.
