Matt, Mauro-- I've been using that Concord T-80U book to correct my Dragon T-80U. It was issued in 2000 and it's a very good reference, the scale drawing is fairly accurate for what is...and yes it has been a lot of work.

heard some rumors it is still under testing&modification stage , and there's also rumors that some of the designer are previously from trumpeter, but Xact model is accepting pre-order now, so hopeful we can get the stuff in our own hands before the 2013 summer comes

Hello Everyone;

Any Word on a Price yet ? If it arrives in March it will just make my Birthday. T-90 & T-80 now all we need is a New Up-dated T-72. My next Wish For is that Trumpy will do the T-64 Bulat.


HAPPY MODELING EVERYONE;

Hi Everyone;
The Pics look really nice, this should be a great kit !
As far as Tamiya, i Dout if Tamiya will do any thing major, the only thing we can hope for is the same thing that they did with the T-55, just add tiny Tid-Bits of different Mks;
Maybe well get lucky and they will Up-Date with a New Turret As for Dragon well there Old kits had Nice Box Art

CHEERS; MIKE.

BTW, it's the best T-80U inject plastic kit you can get in 20 years, shame on dragon, tamiya and other big companies

awesome job on the moldings. The wheel/rubber detail looks fantastic. The question is when will we see it on the shelf?
