Model tank: Soviet medium tank T64B, model 1984 - Trumpeter

Name of the model: Soviet medium tank T64B, model 1984. The Soviet tank T-64, when it was put into service at the end of the 1960s, was a concentrate of technique and innovation; he was the first of the so-called third generation chariots. All the later Soviet models were inspired by it, like the T-80. It also provoked in the West, by reaction, the renewal of the armored fleet, during which tanks such as the Leopard II and the M1 Abrams were designed. But paradoxically, its complexity was also a failure, because it made necessary the production of the T-72, so that the industry of the USSR could produce tanks in sufficient number. Although it has not been produced since 1987, many examples are still in service, particularly in Ukraine and Russia. Plastic model to assemble and paint.
Scale: 1/35.
