Trumpeter 05564 Russian T-72B Mod.1990 MBT Cast Turret (1/35)

The Trumpeter 05564 Russian T-72B Mod.1990 MBT Cast Turret is a plastic model kit in the popular 1:35 scale, depicting one of the most iconic tanks of the Russian army at the end of the 20th century. This model is intended for advanced military modelers seeking a highly detailed replica of an armored vehicle from the Cold War and modern armed conflicts.

The T-72B is an evolution of the famous Soviet T-72 main battle tank. The Mod.1990 version features a characteristic cast turret, equipped with "Kontakt-1" explosive reactive armor and upgraded sighting systems. Main users included the USSR/Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and other post-Soviet states—these vehicles were used in the Chechen War, conflicts in the Caucasus region, and in ongoing actions in Ukraine.

Trumpeter's model faithfully replicates the shape and details of the Russian T-72B Mod.1990, including the realistic form of the cast turret, with attention to surface texture and reactive armor details. The kit includes over 900 precisely molded high-quality plastic parts, detailed link-and-length tracks, clear transparent elements for optics, and an exceptionally clear assembly manual. The model kit does NOT include glue or paints—these need to be purchased separately as modeling supplies.
