More pictures with a light drybrush over the OD areas.









John, I did use the interior bits but decided to represent the hatches closed as the turret interior really looks empty despite the provided sights and the gun breech.

Really coming around with the wash and drybrushing Oliver, looks Great!

Looking good, Olivier.

Hi all,
I'm calling this one done. I gave it more drybrush on the dark areas and painted the final details.









Olivier

Looks Great, Olivier!

Hi Olivier;

"Superb"--You really Nailed this One !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Very nice build Oliver looks great, I'm glad to have seen you build this conversion. I am surely going to get one for the Xact scale kit!

Hi;

FYI--The Xact kit of the T-80 is no longer made, as Xact is No longer in Operation's !! As of this Date there is only One (1) Xact T-80 on ebay and is quite expensive ! It Mite be possible to use the Trumpy T-80 instead ! The Xact kits when they first came out were near impossible to source, and I myself was only lucky enough to finally find one, the T-80 as well as the T-84 Oplot were the only Two vehicles announced when they started !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Thanks for the comments
I guess a Trumpeter T-80U will do the trick instead of the Xact Scale one.
The new SP Design conversion gives you the turret only. So the only "trouble" could be the turret ring size to put the turret onto the Trumpeter hull.

I already Have the Xact scale kit, so I am going to use that for this conversion, and do the Trump kit as is, when it comes out. (or years later when I actually get to it...LOL)
