Voyager Model PEA201 Modern Russian T-72M1 MBT Side Skit (For TAMIYA 35160) 1/35 – Upgrade Set for T-72M1 Tank Model

Voyager Model PEA201 is an advanced detail-up set dedicated to the popular T-72M1 main battle tank model by TAMIYA (catalog number 35160) in 1/35 scale. This product allows for highly detailed replication of the side armor skirts—so-called "side skirt"—of the modern Russian T-72M1 main battle tank, used primarily by the Russian army and the armed forces of former Eastern Bloc countries.

The T-72M1 tank, an improved export version of the legendary T-72, has participated in numerous armed conflicts from the late 1970s, through the Cold War period, and into modern times, being used on various fronts, including Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The side skirts provided effective protection for the hull against HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) projectiles and shrapnel, and their accurate reproduction is a challenge for modelers seeking the highest level of realism in their replicas.

The Voyager Model PEA201 set will be appreciated by both experienced modelers seeking challenges and ultimate realism, as well as intermediate hobbyists who want to improve the finishing standard of their T-72M1 tank. The high quality of the photo-etched parts allows you to achieve details not possible with traditional plastic components. The assembly difficulty is rated at 4/5 – some elements are very small and require precision as well as experience working with brass details.

We recommend the Voyager Model PEA201 set to all military modeling enthusiasts, Cold War and modern conflict diorama builders, and collectors of Russian armored vehicles who expect the most accurate replication and a professional final effect.
