I'd like to know what T-80 variant is, it is interesting to build and maybe will be a next project. Best regards.

At a guess a BREM-80U?

I only have an image of the BREM-80U from the other side, so my photo in my book at home is slightly different, but it looks about the same.

The Ukrainians also produce a BREM-84 that is slightly different based on a T-84, it has the crane mounted on the right instead of left side.

Yes, I was thinking it is a BREM-80, but in the pics I found in the net, the BREM-80 has a different kind of crane than the one in the picture. I'll search for more pics, this will be a future project for sure. Best regards,.

Hi Jose

Yes actually in my photo in my Osprey book it seems to have a different crane.
Maybe its a field workshop conversion?

Hey Jose

I agree with the rest of the troops- looks like a BREM-80U but with a slightly different crane. Looked through my Concord book on T-80s. In the back is a BREM but has a hook instead of the digging bucket. Slightly different mount for arm too.

So it is a BREM-80U... I'll search fore more info and pics. I'll make an scratchbuilt T-80 hull when I have the measures for the hull and the wheels, so I'll try to make two of them at the same time (or maybe three of them. I want a T-80U, a T-84 and a BREM-80U). Let's see what happens. Thanks for your replies. Best regards.

José.
