Comes with resin and etched parts. Tracks are terrible. Turret is not accurate. I would get the kit, but also get the SP designs conversion for BM2 and MiniArm tracks. Comes to a pretty pricey model and still a bear to built I think! HTH, Dmitry

Not to be a big rain cloud, but this is not the easiest version of the T-64 to build (well, really, none of them are right now... ) I would just buy the T-64B, the SP Designs conversion, and the Eduard PE. New tracks are a MUST! Maybe the Eduard or Model Point metal barrel as well, if you want.

And I agree with Dmitry, it is a challenge to build. The more I work with SKIF kits, the more I wish DML would take an interest in Eastern European vehicles! Or that Zvezda would make these kits instead.

You know, by the time you finish putting all the AM together, there'll be no green plastic visible on the tank. Not to mention you've spent 4X as much money on the accessories than on the tank itself.

I want a 3-in-1 series in Eastern Block vehicles, please... please...
