New project on the way. Xact Models T-80U. Nice model with a lot of details. AK gray primer is added and CM is made with Tamiya colors. Here are few pictures.

Great job. I like the camo. This one leads the pack, for my next Soviet/Russian build.

Thank you guys for watching and commenting this one. This model is very nice, a lot of details and it`s easy to build. Only "problem" is that only left side of model is presented in assembly instruction, so you must follow other pictures, like color guide, for adding parts on model.
I will add new photos of progress soon.

cheers

I finished this one. I had problem with my camera, and now it`s in function again. Once again, very interesting model, inspiration for dio I found on box art cover. I hope you like it. Thanks for watching

Thank you. Water is made with Vallejo still water, acrylic binder, some kind of medical watts and clear plastic parts. It must be done patiently in few layers, to get this look.

Excellent idea for a base, I love it. Its really too bad none of the modern Russian tank kits come with parts to build the snorkels in their installed positions.

Thank you very much guys, I'm glad you like it . Eric you are right that those russian models can not be built with snorkels. But I guess there are aftermarket parts for that variants. Batsaikhan, tracks are vinuyl, it need to be pressed on driver wheels to have right look, but all in all ok.
