I have just been given this kit by a friend who no longer wants it.
It came with the RB barrel.
How close is this kit to what it is supposed to be.
I have no intention of buying after-market upgrades for it but i don`t mind a little bit of up-grading to make a few improvements as very few people will see the model anyway as it is outside my normal interest of British vehicles.
I await your ideas wiyh interest.

Thanks in advance

Malcolm

It is the old DML kit reboxed. Look up info on that.

Best bet is to use it as practice for something, such as painting, adding PE (if you need to practice that), or scratchbuilding (such as the ERA mounts).

Best to have fun with it as it is not a great kit.

Hmm, the kit is the same as that from "Zvezda" and possibly Dragon. (DML)
Perhaps you can find some more information about this kit / kits.
Possibly you will have to look for after-market PE-parts... but Iīm not sure with that.

I also planned to buy Revellīs T-80U kit, but also itīs the same as Zvezdaīs and Dragon.s.

Perhaps this could help a -very- little bit.
