Hi all,
I would share some photos of one of the models that I've built in recent time.

This is a T-80BV of Trumpeter, 1/35.
The model is built out of the box, apart for the crew that was obtained from a box of Soviet tankers of Dragon, whose positions were widely reworked.
This type of uniform was utilized in late '80s and very early '90s, so I can attribute this tank to that range of time.

Thank you Mike,
the kit of Trumpeter is really good.
The only thing I disliked is the arrangement of the grilles on the back; Trumpeter reproduced their meshes as a matrix of small grilles, instead of a couple of wide meshes with a strut over them to hold them in place.
Anyway it is only a small defect, not difficult to convive with.

Thank you John.
I forgot that another thing isn't out of box: the connectors of links were bended where they have to curve on some wheels.
