Main Battle Tanks
T-62
Uralvagonzavod T-62 Main Battle Tank
The T-62 was an up-gunned development of the T-55, entering service in 1961 as a counter to advanced western tanks such as the Centurion. Difficult and expensive to build, it fell from favour when new ammunition for the T-55 regained its effectiveness. Production ended in 1975, but it remains in widespread service around the world. Iraq acquired a total of 2,850 T-62s, with the final 500 used (and largely destroyed) during the second Gulf War. This is an Italeri 1/72 kit, representing a vehicle of the Iraqi Regular Army on the Al-Faw peninsula in 2003. Return to Dark Side AFVs index page Return to Gengriz Modelling Index Page
