Trumpeter 01548 T-62 Mod.1962 Iraqi Regular Army in 1/35 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit, representing the legendary Soviet T-62 tank in the version used by the Iraqi Regular Army. The model is made of high-quality plastic, characterized by excellent reproduction of details, with sprue elements designed with attention to the smallest structural features of the original vehicle.

Historical and Technical Description

The T-62 tank was introduced into service in 1961 in the USSR, during the so-called Cold War era. The 1962 model was an advancement of the popular T-55 thanks to the implementation of the new 2A20 smoothbore 115 mm gun (UT-5), allowing it to effectively combat modern NATO tanks such as the M48 Patton and Centurion. The Iraqi army extensively used the T-62 from the 1970s, including during the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988), Operation Desert Storm (1991), and in various conflicts in the Middle East in modern times.
