Italeri 7006 - 1/72 T-62 Tank: A Modeller's Take on Cold War Armour

The Italeri 7006 1/72 T-62 Tank kit enables modellers to recreate a key Soviet main battle tank in miniature. Noted for its distinct turret and 115mm gun, the T-62 is a frequent subject for historical modelling. The kit focuses on compact accuracy and provides components that reflect the vehicle's defining lines.

Context and faithful reproduction

As a successor to the T-55 introduced in the 1960s, the T-62 introduced a smoothbore gun that marked a step forward for Soviet armour. Italeri 7006 reproduces those signature elements so modellers can build an honest representation at 1/72 scale.

Construction quality and display uses

The 1/72 scale kit includes finely moulded polystyrene parts that suit steady hands and attention to detail. Finished models display well on shelves or in diorama settings, and the size makes it simple to mix with other 1/72 subjects.

Specifications

  • Parts: Detailed components for realistic assembly

Choosing the Italeri T-62 for your build

For those focused on Cold War military subjects, the Italeri 7006 T-62 delivers recognisable form and a rewarding build process. Its accurate profile and manageable size make it a sensible addition to any armour collection.

No specialised paints are required; standard model acrylics or enamels in military greens and greys are suitable. Consider washes and matt varnish for realistic finishes.
Many parts can be modified or enhanced with aftermarket items. Small drilling, trimming, or adding resin and photo-etch parts can raise realism for advanced modellers.
Once glued and painted, the model is reasonably sturdy, but take care with thin fittings and small extraneous parts when moving or packing the finished piece.
