Trumpeter T62 ERA Mod 1972 Iraqi Army Tank Model Kit (1/35 Scale)

The T-62 originally was conceived as a companion weapon to the T-55. Being essentially a T55 up gunned with the 2A20 115mm cannon. Both the T-55 and the T-62 used the same wheels, track, engine, transmission, hatches and other fittings. The primary differences between the two vehicles were the T-62's lengthened hull and new turret design. The new UT-5 cannon could fire its BR-5 APFSDS steel round through approximately 300mm of armor at a range of 1000 meters. The T-62 was meant to add long range firing capability to Soviet tank regiments being placed alongside T-55s, but in the later years of its deployment it fulfilled much the dame role as the T-55. Despite being introduced in 1960, the improved performance of its successors, the T-72, the T-62 still sees service today in many of the worlds army. Length: 11.3" Width: 3.7" Parts: 620+.
