Trumpeter 1/35 T-62 ERA Mod. 1972 is a plastic kit of the Soviet T-62 tank fitted with explosive reactive armour blocks. According to the manufacturer, it contains 680 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The T-62 entered series production in 1961 and was the first main battle tank armed with a smoothbore gun, of 115 mm calibre. The 1972 modification added a 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun at the loader's hatch. Later upgrades fitted explosive reactive armour (ERA) blocks to the hull and turret, which noticeably change the tank's silhouette.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/35 scale consists of 680 parts according to the manufacturer, and the finished model is about 28.6 cm long. Its defining feature is the dense arrangement of reactive armour blocks on the hull front and turret.
The 1/35 scale shows off the regular pattern of the armour blocks as well as the stowage on the track guards. The model fits a collection of post-war Soviet tanks as well as a diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
