Thx for reply Andrij.
I have all photos of this model. I studied it very well, details on it are built very very good, but, he did not corrected the turret, it is out of the box from zvezda T80, so it is round. In the start model is not accurate, a for me, something like this is a major mistake and i am sure he could have done better.

Hi Stefan,
It's a great and interesting subject, one of the coolest tanks in the world today i think, i will follow your build. But i want to ask you something, why do you using Zvezda instead of more dimensionally accurate Skif?

To be honest, my budget is very low, therefore my options are even lower. I had this one in my stock, so i sad what the heck.

That's true...but we have to consider that final result will be very different from the original kit

Hi Mauro,
Zvezda's turret is one of the most inaccurate points in the kit, it is small than the original turret as i can see and as i red about under several topics in this forum.. On the other hand Oplot M's most converted and interesting point is also the turret, i hope the final result will be ok

But we have to live with it and also Stefan has to

Subscribed. You need to sell it, once you are finished. I would definitely be interested in having one of my own.

And Stefan, there is not any plastic aftermarket track for T-80, at least i don't know about it. So you have to buy a resin one or more expensive and not proven white metal one.

Can't believe I didn't see this earlier. Fantastic work so far, this is shaping up to be a great build. Good luck with it Stefan.

T-72: Tamiya's T-72 is great but maybe Trumpeter or Academy, maybe..
T-80: I don't think anyone will do it, we have to do it as we know

T-84: Stefan doing right now and i think this will inspire a lot of people

T-90: I'm very patiently waiting Zvezda's

Well
T-72 Tamiya depicts a quite rare german version and has some inaccuracy. Furthermore, I don't know why, is quite hard to find....I hope Trumpeter will produce a T-72 family....but I'm quite tired of waiting
T-80....why in your opinion, nobody will produce a t-80 kit? Lots of modellers actually say that they want a new T-80 tool
T-84, yes that's it
T-90 Zvezda? Mhhhhh It seems to me that they're more interested in ww2 subjects...I still hope in a Trumpeter release
Anyway....we have just to wait
Cheers
