Trumpeter T-64 BV

This is one great kit from Trumpeter. In my opinion the T64 BV was the definitive and best looking Soviet tank of the late cold war, one that I had to add to my collection. Russian armour fans have had to wait a long time for a decent model of this complex tank, the only other option being the less than perfect Skif kit. I built this kit straight out the box as the level of detail is more than adequate to satisfy all but the most detail obsessed modellers. I used Tamiya acrylic paint for the base green with various shades of oil's to weather the finish. Earth coloured pastels were used on the tracks and running gear with a matching shade of oil paint to complete the effect on the hull. I used Tank models Russian tank crew figures to finish off the model. If cold war Russian armour is your thing, this kit should definitely be on your list.
