First, the Tamiya T-62 is actually something like 1/32.5 scale, not really 1/35. Best way to see this is to compare the Tamiya T-62 wheel with the Tamiya T-55 wheel. They should be the same, but alas, the Tamiya T-62 wheels are noticably larger.
Second, the most noticable change that needs to be made is a new turret. While the Tamiya turret is too "squashed" it also has a improper undercut under the main gun, a very noticable mistake.
Aside from the above mentoned companies, SP Designs also sells conversion/correction kits. Here is a link to my site: http://saammodels.tripod.com/companies/spdesigns/T62/index.htm
Here is a link to my personal build:

Hope this helps inspire you to build a T-62! |
