Sorry. I'm confused about the markings. The decals are for a Royal Thai tank. But the painting and markings guide shows 2 Ukrainian marked tanks. ???

AFAIK, only the RTA tanks have the digital camo. Military Modelcraft International Aug 2017 issue has a good reference article on the T-84 by James Kinnear and also an article for the T-84 by Trumpeter. Ebay prices for the Trumpeter T-84 are very high. I am going to wait until the prices drop to under USD50.00

Interesting-looking AFV, does anyone have a definitive determination if this one is accurate, as compared to Dragon's elderly and awful T-80 from years ago?

Dragon old kits of the T80 (early 90's) are totally out in term of accuracy and detailling. These kits looks T80 but they were designed from photos long time before the access to the tank was enable.
