Same here! Everything else on hold and ready to receive the delivery from hobbyeasy!
Please do a build log! Be my pathfinder on the kit!
Which option you will do? I will do the green/grey/brown scheme as seen during the withdrawl from former GDR in 1994.

Thomas will most likely do the plain green version (T-80's just look right that way IMO). However I built Zvezda's version back in November and was not happy the way its paint came out so I was going to repaint that in the green/black/grey version as test before my final decision.

You mentioned the green/grey/brown version being from the East German withdrawal any ideas about the 3 schemes? I'm guessing the green/tan/black is a parade version like the T-90 and T-72 released of late.

Hi Andrew;
The Green, Tan, & Black is the more standard system that the Soviets use, and has been used for quite some time now.
Some refer it too the U.S. Merdc system that was used some years ago. In this system the Black was called Crows Feet, and its Patters were less Pronounced. In the Soviet System the Black Patterns are more Bold in there pattern.

CHEERS; MIKE.
