Modelcollect UA72128 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the Soviet T-64AV/BV main battle tank in 1/72 scale. The set allows you to build one of two iconic vehicle versions: the T-64AV or the modernized T-64BV, which offers exceptional value for collectors and enthusiasts of historical military modeling. These tanks were operated by the Soviet Union and, after its dissolution, by Ukraine and other post-Soviet states.

Historical background: The T-64 is a groundbreaking Soviet main battle tank that first entered service with the Soviet Army in the second half of the 1960s. The AV and BV versions were developed in the 1980s as a response to the challenges of the modern battlefield. Modernizations included, among others, the use of ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) as well as numerous upgrades improving firepower and crew survivability.

The T-64AV/BV tank was widely used during the Cold War, in low- and medium-intensity conflicts, and after the collapse of the USSR, also fought in armed actions in Ukraine and local conflicts across the former Eastern Bloc.
