This type of dynamic protection was widely used on Soviet and post-Soviet tanks, including the T-64BV, T-72B, T-80U, BMP-2, as well as on many modern upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach extended set includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e240 flat blocks (standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 sloped blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is enough to fully recreate the armor coverage on the hull and turret of most combat vehicles in 1:35 or 1:72 scale. You can either model a complete ERA layout or replicate selective coverage with missing or damaged blocks for a more battle-worn look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set is available in two scales — 1:35 for highly detailed builds, and 1:72 for fans of compact yet precise model formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a perfect upgrade for kits from Trumpeter, Revell, ICM, and other popular brands — ideal for building authentic replicas of vehicles from real-world conflict zones and historical operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\nKontakt-1 — The Iconic Dynamic Armor of Soviet Tanks\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kontakt-1 system was developed in the Soviet Union during the 1980s in response to the increasing effectiveness of shaped-charge munitions. It became the first mass-produced type of explosive reactive armor installed directly on the hull and turret of combat vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts principle is simple yet effective: each ERA block contains an explosive insert that detonates upon impact, disrupting the shaped-charge jet before it can penetrate the main armor. The system was first widely used in Afghanistan and later appeared in every major conflict involving Soviet and post-Soviet armor — including the current war in Ukraine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKontakt-1 blocks have become a visual hallmark of modernized tanks from the late Cold War era and the post-Soviet period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ScaleX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53550751121745,"sku":"X-A 72002","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/x-a-72002_1new.jpg?v=1776354738","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/scalex-kontakt-1-era-bricks-240-60-pcs-1-72-a-72002","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
