Armory 1/72 AT-T Soviet Heavy Prime Mover
By Rob Folden
Stock# AR M72101
MSRP: $52.82
Another fine offering from Armory, one of their latest releases is the Soviet AT-T Heavy Artillery Prime Mover. This is very similar to a previous release of the Soviet AT-L. The AT-T is a larger version of the AT-L and has a much greater towing/hauling capacity. Visually, the two vehicles are nearly the same. But that is not the case with Armory’s resin offerings.
The AT-T comes in finely cast resin parts with photo-etched details. As with all limited run resin kits, there is a small amount of flash, but luckily it is mostly on the larger pieces which limits the chance of damaging details. The tracks are reproduced using PE, as with the AT-L. Comparing the AT-T and AT-L with the dimensions of the actual vehicles, Armory very accurately captured the sizes. And as pictures show, while they look alike, they are very different.
If you are a small scale armor modeler, I cannot recommend Armory’s products enough. Not just for their wide range of unique subjects, but each offering is very well done. As long as the modeler has basic experience with PE parts and resin, they should have no problem building one of these beauties. My continuing thanks to Armory for providing the review samples. Happy Modeling.
