RE: Superheavy tank conversions

I don't think that either ESCI or Hasegawa produce anything beyond a
T-62.  But Revell of Germany does have two versions of the T-80.  In
fact, Revell has a very nice collection of "modern" tanks, including
LeClercs, Challengers, Merkavas, and Abrahms.  Trumpeter is supposed to
be doing some small scale tanks in the future, but I don't know if
they're modern or not.

Actually, you should have a good chance of finding  1/72 scale kit.  Try
ESCI 
or Hasegawa.

Good to know.  Looke like my Manchurian Economic Coalition (MEC) will
soon
be getting some grav tanks courtesy of some converted 1/72 t-80's or
t-90's
if I can find one in 1/72 (not likely).
