T-62

Manufacturer: ACE (Kit No. 72148)

I have read in a couple oflocations that this kit was the same as the T-55 kit with a newturret. That is absolutely not true. This kit shares the wheelsand tracks of the earlier T-55 series, but the remainder of thekit is entirely new.

This kit is typical of ACE,meaning that it is a high quality, limited-run model. The detailis great, and all crew hatches are molded open. Initialmeasurements of the unbuilt model show it to be accurate to1/72nd (according to Bronekollektsiya #3.2000 ). Incontrast, the old ESCI T-62 kit is far over scale.

The decals are thin and sharplyprinted. Five options are included: Syrian 1st Tank Division,Lebanon, 1982; Egyptian 3rd Army near El Kabrit, 1974; SovietArmy, Prague, 1968; Soviet Army, Kosice, 1968; Soviet Army,mid-'70s.

This kit was long awaited, and itis sure to please many people.
