I am building a Trumpeter T-64BV from the Donbass conflict and was going to replace the coax Trumpeter provides, but I can't seem to figure out what to use. Wiki says it has the PKMT coax and Tank makes a resin set, but they do not look like the kit part. The kit part looks like the SMGT/Pkt barrel from Trumpeter. To make it worse, I looked for pics online and the coax is either missing, covered with canvas or hidden by the ERA. Any suggestion as to which one I should use- not sure if the Trump part is wrong, wiki is wrong or what. Thanks

According to this site dedicated to the T-64, the coax MG is a PKT.

thanks!

Hi;

Model Points PKT Barrel is A Must !!!!

CHEERS; MIKE.

Thanks...I'll have to look for that. The Voyager ones are out of stock everywhere

I will second that.
According to the T-64 manual from 1969, T-64A manual from 1984, and T-64B and T-64B1 manual from 1983 the coaxial MG is PKT.

Thanks again!

If you get the PE set from Voyager, it has the gun barrel in it for the T-64

Pretty excited to see the final product. Im doing a T64BV from the conflict as well. What camo scheme you going for.??

Thanks Scott. I passed on the Voyager PE this time. I wanted to try to finish a build and every time I get the Voyager sets, I end up moving on to something else in the middle.

I found a picture of a rebel T-64 with a skull emblem on the search light cover getting gas at a gas station. It's just Russian green, but the ERA has a lot of varying shades that should be interesting. When my barrel finally came from Hobbyeasy, I realized I ordered the Mirror 2A46M barrel WITHOUT the thermal sleeve and naturally this one has it. I ordered a a correct barrel and may end up doing another build. One Ukrainian in some version of their camo and then the rebel one.
