Incredibly good and crisp
Have you used just reference pics or have you seen some scale drawings?

Congrats

You're a quite slow modeller but your results look outstanding indeed

Joking aside, Congrats!

Big thank you for everyone, but the work you can see on the pictures is not my work. I have friend in Poland, his name is Jarek and this great upper hull is his job. For me Jarek is a master of scrach building. I can`t wait when I get this beautifull part in my hands.

Hi everyone, it`s me again . This is the beginning of transformation. Just like I wrote before I have a T-64B turret from Miniarm and I`m going to change that turret from T-64 to T-80. I don`t know if it`s good idea, but I will try. Now I`m gonna show you the pictures:

















Please don`t look at the ERA bricks on the top of turret. I will use a bricks from Voyager model. If someone have any suggestions what is good, what is wrong, please share with me. Best regards. Thank you

Looking great, I want to throw my Zvezda T-80 BV turret to the thrash
and I'm really thinking about buying miniarm T-64 turret or will I continue fighting my Zvezda one?? There is a big difference for sure...

Definitely throw your Zvezda T-80 BV turret to the thrash and buy Miniarm

The idea is good, just throw those awful ERA blocks into the trash, too. Use Miniarm blocks, they are much better...

Hello everyone . Do you remember that model?? I know, I know I`m lazy, but what can I do?? I`m not sure if I`ve showed you a new pictures of the uper hull, if not, I`m doing this now


















I hope I`ll finish that tank in this year. Cross fingers please
