by Model Collect a T-64 (1972), (1975) and (1981) all come with plastic hulls and not the metal hulls we have come to know in their T-72/90 series

I have several on order ... they have set up a distribution hub in the UK for European orders to bypass UK customs

Sweet set-up for as long as it lasts. I've had no problems ordering off of ebay for my T-90s so I may go that route or order direct from their website.

Just received my T-64s direct from Modelcollect, I bought all three versions. I gotta tell you they look fantastic with the 1972 coming with a metal barrel. I really like the way they packaged the DS tracks in a plastic container to keep them straight. Can't wait to put these together. Thanks MC for taking the T-64 off our "wish list"!

waiting to you hear what they are coming out with next ... a BMP-3 in 1/72 scale .... happy days and yeah the T-64s are pretty amazing ... put Dragon to shame btw of advice when building the top of the hull don't follow the instructions or you will find it doesn't fit with the lower hull you have to fit the 4 main parts separately to the lower hull

hi Kerry I am not really one for doing blogs ... when I get into a building phase I don't stop to take pictures ... I would have change the way I approach the hobby ... but I suppose anything is possible
