Modelcollect UA72023 T-64BV Main Battle Tank Mod. 1985 1/72

The Modelcollect UA72023 plastic model kit represents the Soviet T-64BV main battle tank in the modernized 1985 version, in the popular 1/72 scale. It is a faithful miniature of one of the most important machines of the Cold War era, used mainly by the Soviet Union and later also by Ukraine, Russia, and other countries of the former Eastern Bloc. The T-64BV is a modernization of the original T-64B, primarily featuring the addition of "Kontakt-1" explosive reactive armor, which significantly increased the vehicle’s protection level on the battlefield.

The prototype of the model entered service in the mid-1980s, becoming one of the pillars of Soviet armored forces at the end of the Cold War. The T-64BV was distinguished by innovative technical solutions for its time, such as an autoloader and a modern 125 mm gun. It was widely used by the USSR army until the early 1990s, and also took part in armed conflicts in Eastern Europe and in fighting in Ukraine between 2014 and 2022.
