The T-62 was produced between 1961 and 1975. It became a standard tank in the Soviet arsenal, partly replacing the T-55, although that tank continued to be manufactured in the Soviet Union and elsewhere after T-62 production was halted.  Kit has well molded exterior features, 1-piece lower hull and multi-piece upper hull with cast texture turret, separate hatches, well represented suspension (multipart sprockets and idlers, individually molded road wheel tire rings, individual link track), separate on-vehicle equipment (stowage bins, jerry cans and more), filigree handholds, external cylindrical fuel drums, optional injection molded or metal main gun barrel, 7.62 mm PKT machine gun, braided copper wire tow cable, clear parts and photo-etch fine accents and engine deck grilles plus optional parts for mine plow. 5-view color painting guide and decals for a single tank.
