The T-72B3M is a further upgraded variant of the T-72B3 tank, developed by Russia to enhance combat effectiveness at a relatively low cost and meet the demands of modern warfare. Based on the T-72B3, this main battle tank is equipped with a more powerful 1,130-horsepower V-92S2F engine and fitted with additional protection such as the 4S23 Relikt explosive reactive armor. As one of the mainstay tanks of the Russian military, the T-72B3M plays a vital role in offensive and defensive field operations. Its Relikt ERA has repeatedly proven effective in withstanding anti-tank missile attacks. However, the tank still reveals a critical weakness—insufficient top protection—when faced with advanced Western-supplied anti-tank weapons such as the Javelin and NLAW.

This MENG 1/72 72-007 Russian Main Battle Tank T-72B3M model is about 136mm long, 55mm wide and 43mm high once assembled. Based on the experience from previous 1/72 scale products, this kit continues to embrace the concept of modular design, and it further improves the building experience. This kit includes fine decals too.
