Special Thanks to Mr. Vitaly Kuzmin as our Boxart photographer!
Re-designing not just for correction or improvement but also for better and enjoyable model building experience. After the great success of our 05599 kit, Trumpeter Model 09555 1/35 Russian T-72B1 w/ kontakt-1 Reactive Armor made multiple improvements so that more modellers can enjoy this legendary tank with more joy and better price:
1. Turret anti-radiation coat texture accurately represented.
2. Re-designed part for more accuracy and easy assembling
3. Building options: both essential parts for T-72B/B1 will still included in this kit and multiple camouflage liveries to choose from!
All those detail improvements & New designed features will also be added to our current on sale T-72/ T-90 series for another great enhance of detail level!

Product introduction:
The E-50 hull was practically identical to the King Tiger in overall dimensions except for the glacis plate layout. The plates would have been interlocked and welded as on other German vehicles, giving great strength and rigidity. The engine chosen was an improved version of the Maybach HL230 as fitted to the Panther and the Tiger II. Called the HL234, it developed 900 HP using fuel injection, and was expected to produce up to 1200 HP with supercharging. The location of fuel tanks, radiators and fans was similar to the Tiger II. Maximum speed was to be 60 KPH. The idea was to assemble both types on the same production line, using identical production machinery and brought in sub assemblies.
