Description: I was inspired by a photo of a T-62 in a hull down position over looking a hill to make my second ever diorama. I choose to build my scene as a T-62M pulled from long reserve storage and pressed into service by MVD troops. I modified and corrected trumpeters 1/72 T-62 kit. The fenders were removed and scratch built, as was the add on armour on the hull and turret. The coaxial mg and main gun are turned brass. I added 3D printed snorkel, headlight guard and stowage. The figures are soft plastic set by Orion. I painted them in MVD camouflage. The fuel lines are fine solder, the bucket is PE, and the spent shells are turned brass.
