Recently I recieved Zvezda's Terminator as a birthday present. At I first I was a bit disappointed because I really wanted the MENG version, but I'm never one to complain, especially seeing as how it was a gift. So I opened it up to see what the sprues looked like. To my surprise they looked very nice. Very nicely detailed with no flash that I could really see. I did see a lot of ejector pin marks, but all on areas that wouldn't be seen. So seeing a how this is actually a really nice kit, I decided to look at other zvezda kits of things that I've been wanting to model. Namely the T-80 and T-72. I seen that they we $24 on scale hobbyist. That a far cheaper than the MENG or Takom offerings. So I thought I'd ask if anybody has experience with these kits and if the are or seem to be of the same quality as the Terminator or the Zvezda T-90 that I watched a review on and it seems to be of high detail also.

Here are the kits numbers.

Thanks in advance

Zvezda T-72 and T-80 are reboxed old Dragon kits which look like T-72 and T-80 but only from afar!

Their new T-90 and Terminator are good kits even if the first one has suspension height issues.

Thank you Oliver. Much appreciated.

My best advice,stay away from those Zvezda AKA DML/Dragon T-72,T-80 kits.They are from the very early 90's and are just horrible.

I'm building the Iraqi version of they're T72 and can't say it's the worst kit I've built. Accuracy issues notwithstanding it assembles fairly quickly and it can be acquired cheaply. I originally purchased it with the intent of building it as a wreck with cats climbing all over it, but that never wound up happening.

They're motorcycle's a good fun kit though (3639) and comes with the option of building it with the sidecar guy playing accordion. They're figure sets aren't bad either.

Thanks fellas, looks like ill stay away from the T-72 and T-80. I appreciate it.
