Last night at my local club I got to see Tamiya's new T-72M1 in 1/35. This is
the kit to buy if you want to do a T-72. Detail is phenominal, and according to
the real buffs, including Tony Englehart of A.E.F. designs, who has numerous
photos of the T-72, it is almost perfect. Expected price is unknown, probably
as expensive or more so than their M1A1 with mine plow (which has hit the 
shelves here in Colorado). Expected availability is anytime in the next 10 days
to 2 weeks. The kit gives you steel mesh and plastic mesh for engine vent
covers, scale rope and tubing for fuel tank detailing, and even copper wire to
put through the "fuel line" so that you can form it to the contours of the
body.

Another Japanese company whose name I forget (starts with an 'E', they have one
photo-etch set out, and it was for armor) will soon have on the shelves a 
photo-etch metal sheet for the DML 1/72 He 219A-0/7. Very fine detailing on
this, had a price sticker on it for 1700 Yen, what ever that is in US$. Wish I
could remember their name.
