MINICHAMPS T-72

Post by graycap » Sat Aug 19, 2006 9:37 am

Saw a copy of the latest Minichamps catalogue in London earlier this week. In it there was photo of the latest version of the M-60 (without of course reactive armour) in 1980s camo and also a photo of the forthcoming (no date) T-72.

The T-72 looked very nice in the markings of a National Volks Armee, 7th Pz Division in Dresden in 1988. No sign of the Centurion however alas!

Hi,
We'll try to obtain the latest edition of their catalog and post a picture of the specimen if its available. Dont know why they put the image in their catalogue and not on their site.

Minichamps armour is scaled 1:35 not 1:32 I believe.

Hi,
Apart from the Kubelwagens, which are produced in 1:18 scale, all of the Minichamps vehicles are made in 1:35 scale.

Me too! We're supposed to get the new catalogue in a few days, probably by next week. If the T-72 is in there, as Greycap pointed out, we'll scan the image and post it for all to see.
