Ukrainian T-72B Tank obr. 1989 (6870708)

This ready-made Artitec model reproduces a Ukrainian T-72B obr. 1989 main battle tank as operated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The T-72B is distinguished by its heavily armored turret, 125 mm smoothbore main gun, extensive explosive reactive armor, low-profile hull, and characteristic Soviet-designed running gear. Artitec depicts this vehicle in a field-modified Ukrainian configuration associated with the Russo-Ukrainian War.

The model is finished primarily in weathered military green with prominent blue-and-yellow Ukrainian recognition markings applied to the front fenders and gun barrel. Extensive details include turret and hull-mounted reactive armor blocks, smoke grenade launchers, commander’s machine gun, open crew hatches, external stowage, rear fuel drums, tow cables, engine-deck grilles, and fabric or camouflage wrapping around portions of the main gun. Dust, grime, worn surfaces, and track weathering give the model a realistic operational appearance.

Artitec's Ready-Made models are handcrafted from high-quality resin and produced in limited runs. Each model is expertly preassembled, hand-painted, and often subtly weathered to recreate the appearance of a real vehicle in use. Because every model is finished by hand, small variations may occur, making each piece unique.

Artitec uses vacuum-cast resin to reproduce exceptionally fine, true-to-scale details that can be difficult to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Etched-brass parts are added where appropriate to capture delicate components and further enhance realism.

Each model is assembled, painted, and weathered by skilled specialists—a process requiring considerable time, precision, and experience. Artitec Ready-Made models are ideal for collectors seeking exceptional detail and realism without the time and effort required to build and finish a model kit.
