Hello,

I want to build the Trumpeter T-80BV. According to this thread, there is problem with the glacis, because a missing “bulge” next to the driver hatch. My problem is, I cannot identify this problem.
For this reason, can anyone explain me or show me the mistake, please?
Are there any experiences how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance

Best wishes,
Moritz

Sorry, I mean this thread https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/249586&page=1

Best image I could find quickly. Look at the "cheeks" on each side of the drivers hatch area. T-80B does not have them, nor does the Trumpeter kit. All T-80BV have them because ALL T-80BV (except for a few Ukrainian recent upgrades) had the additional glacis armor you see on SOME T-80B added internally...which is why there are "cheeks".

Have a look at the walkarounds here:

these should show what is required.
