My pleasure! I've been told all of the 2011 issues should be released all at once shortly after the new year.

Hi Cagkan!! This time it`s not about turret shape. I just want to tell you about one more impotant thing, when you build T-80BV. It`s about a rear of tank. You need to change one small detail in your model. Please give an attention for the part in red circle:

Zvezda:



real tank



the model









I`m sure that you knew about it, but I`m telling you just in case. Best regards

Hi Grzegorz,

Yes I'm aware of that difference but I did not find a correct view yet, I didn't have a time for it, now I have it thanks to you

I'm still working on the turret, it was a very busy week for work, also I will get marry in next month, preparations takes time

Thanks a lot for the share

I think Skif doing it but it requires aftermarket help.

Zvezda needs a lot of scratchbuild, cutting, adding, reshaping, if you want an exact model...

DML/Zvezda kit requires a all new scratchbuild to be get a accurate build!

Best T-80UD on the market is SKIF. But it is only 5 out of 10. It is accurate in dimension, but details are poor.

Best T-80B woudl be the ancient DML kit and its clones...maybe a 3 out of 10. It will look good from about 3ft distance, but that is it...without a LOT of work.
