"Super Dolly Parton!" Topic

This one?

No, this one!

The T-72B was referred to by some in NATO as the "Super Dolly Parton" due to the bulges on the front of the turret. The tank has other modifications as well.

This will eventually get the upgrade with KONTAKT-1 (still the most common variant although the Russians are trying to upgrade them to "Rogatka" standard) and there will also be a T-72AV, which is commonly deployed in many armies, most notably Syrian government forces:

This will also be part of our upcoming "Zone of Alienation" 15mm sci fi range. Stay tuned for details!

Looking great, but small thingy – AFAIK and from what I have seen, T-72BM "Rogatka" (or T-72B2 as manufacturer nowadays call it) is not going to be the next mass-produced T-72 variant for domestic use, looks like russians went with less-dramatic T-72B3 with second generation K-5 ERA (instead of 3rd) and wind meter & upgraded (digitalized) FCS + thermals, and numerous smaller upgrades. Though the russian article (if "I" translated it correctly) says that according to officials, B3 performs better than T-90A.

^ Again, if I got it right, it doesnt state much about its role, only that 138th brigade is armed with B3

I havent found any articles stating "Sorry, no rogatka", but at least at the moment its not in production (if it is, then its done with amazingly low profile and allmost stealthy approach, when taken on account how much PR-glazing rogatka has seen), propably still in export-catalogue, though. And if you have more valid sources available, please, share them – its not just this forum which is having headache considering rogatkas-status.

Have you any plans for common T-72 "Ural" or T-72M?

I had no plans to make a rogatka, so no worries there.

I have had a T-72M1 designed and it was separately previewed.

So much good Russian armor. I loved the T-90s I got. I would love a T-80U

-Eki

Ah, I jumped the gun there.

And yes, I noticed that preview (looking good, all together), and partly due to that, I popped this question (T-72M1 being "export" model of T-72A, while T-72M was pact-produced T-72-early comparable variant), as AFAIK, nobody produces accurate first-production version of T-72 either.

Though that T-72M1 alone is excellent news, to note! Just asked about M-version `cos it was quite common in first-line pact-countries before late 1980s (when M1 became the tip of the spear) and `cos gulf-war one.

I imagine you can link an awful lot of stuff to scifi, anything in fact

Well, he does say "This will also be part of our upcoming 'Zone of Alienation' 15mm sci fi range. Stay tuned for details!" so maybe we can expect some sci-fi add-ons.

This could go on all night if we are resorting to home photos….:)

Lol!

Or hacking into each other's files titled "don't let the wife or kids open…"

My little brother used to be part of the security detail assigned to watch over Dolly Parton when she was working at the Golden Nugget here in Las Vegas. Oh the stories I could tell…
(Dolly's really not very nice, but she is much nicer than you can imagine)

I don't know… I can imagine a lot.

Man, batgirl is much uglier than I remember…….

I came into this thread not knowing what to expect and I leave this thread not knowing what I saw…

Cool tank though!

the thing you have to remember about dolly is her big boobs…

Doint forget that the U.S. M2 Light tank

was known as the "Mae West".

"Zone of Alienation"

A phrase which certainly maintains my interest…..

Especially in 15mm.
