Trumpeter 01551 Russian T-62 Mod.1975 (Mod.1962+KTD2) – 1:35 scale tank model

The Trumpeter 01551 model represents the Russian T-62 main battle tank in the Mod.1975 upgrade (derived from the Mod.1962 version, with an added KTD-2 laser rangefinder). This is a detailed plastic model kit in the popular and highly regarded 1:35 scale, which allows for accurate replication of the vehicle's details while offering significant possibilities for arrangement in dioramas and exhibition displays.

The T-62 tank was developed in the Soviet Union and officially entered service in 1961 as the successor to the T-55. The Mod.1975 version offered here is an upgrade in which the KTD-2 laser rangefinder was installed above the gun barrel, significantly improving firing accuracy and effectiveness. Thanks to these solutions, T-62 tanks became even more formidable on the battlefield.

The T-62 in the Mod.1975 upgrade version was primarily used by the USSR, as well as numerous allied countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa. Notable theaters of combat include conflicts in the Middle East (the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Iran–Iraq War), as well as during the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan (1979–1989). The operational period of this tank variant falls in the second half of the Cold War and in modern times, as some countries still operate this equipment today.
