Tamiya 1/35th T72M1

Tamiya's 1/35th scale T72 and Dragon (or DML, I don't remember) Soviet tank crew and motor-rifle infantry. Sharp-eyed viewers will note the presence of the "Dazzler" countermeasure on the turret, normally a feature of T72s in Iraqi service. But this tank is in Russian service! What gives?! What gives is that I thought it was cool and I put it on my Russian T72.

This is a nice kit, enough of a multi-media thing to give one a mild thrill of excitement, but not so much that it starts to feel like building a brass locomotive. I really like Dragon/DML figure sets too, though I have a sneaking suspicion that I like the Don Greer cover paintings more than I like the figures themselves (though to be honest, they are nice figures).
