The T-72B3 is a Russian upgrade of the large but ageing T-72B fleet. A low-cost alternative to newer tanks, the refurbished and upgraded T-72B3 were fitted with new engine, new gunner sight, new fire control system and built-in Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armor. The first T-72B3 were delivered to the Russian Army in 2013. A new version in 2016 has an added add-on explosive reactive armor package which covers the rear part of the turret and is also fitted with cage armor which covers the rear part of the hull and turret.
The model is a 3D print by Zeus Model from China. It is very finally and correctly made with lot of details but had a misprinted box on the turret side (the reason for the camo net I made) and an incomplete AA machine gun. I just deformed the cage armor because they seem to suffer quickly in an operational environment and added a crew member inside the semi open gunner hatch.
