This is a retool and rebox from Meng of their T-72B3. Meng have certainly made big steps in the kit production world and are now on par with Tamiya and the quality of their kits. The box is a good size for 1:35 scale and is packed with parts. They are very crisp with no flash and pin marks a virtually non existent. There is plenty of detail, and the tracks are workable and very easy to assemble. The instructions are presented in a well printed booklet which is easy to follow, and you get 4 paint options on colour pages, and a comprehensive paint chart. Meng have also produced some upgrade sets for this kit, an engine bay, which I have got, and 2 track sets of workable links, but to be honest the tracks in the kit are fine and I don't really see the need for them so I won't be using either of them.BigGrin

Looks a very nice kit Daran, which I'm sure you'll make a fabulous job of building. Looks like you might need to take care in removing that machine gun from the sprue though or the barrel might need gluing back together afterwards - that is a very fine and delicate moulding by the look of it!!
