Soviet T-72 Main Battle Tank 1/56 Resin Vehicle Kit

About This Kit

This 1/56 scale resin kit depicts the iconic Soviet T-72 main battle tank, one of the most widely deployed armored vehicles of the Cold War era. The model captures the distinctive profile of this legendary platform with impressive fidelity, from the characteristic rounded turret to the long 125mm smoothbore gun extending from the hull. The uniform pale green finish visible on this casting reflects the authentic Soviet paint schemes of the period.

The T-72 features the tank's signature design elements rendered in fine detail: the six road wheels per side with their individual suspension components, textured track runs, and the prominent storage boxes and equipment racks adorning the hull and turret. The turret-mounted commander's cupola sits atop the turret ring, complete with its characteristic observation equipment. The resin casting demonstrates excellent surface detail throughout, capturing both the geometric panels of the hull and the subtle weathering variations expected in field-worn vehicles.

This kit suits collectors building Cold War Soviet mechanized forces or creating Eastern Bloc diorama scenes from the 1970s onward. The 1/56 scale pairs well with 28mm historical figures, making it ideal for those assembling tabletop wargaming armies or museum-quality display pieces representing Soviet armor doctrine and capability during the superpower standoff.

Painting & Assembly

This kit arrives unassembled and unpainted, giving you complete creative freedom. We recommend using cyanoacrylate (super glue) for resin assembly. Clean parts with warm soapy water before priming. Use a quality resin primer before painting with acrylics or enamels. Pin larger joints for a stronger bond.
