Hi,

Can you tell me sth. about accuracy of SKIF's T-64A? Several weeks ago I bought this model on auction (nearly for free) and soon I'd like to start its construction.
Do you know a place where I can find photos of this beast? Unique- rare camouflages are very welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Michal

Michal, I've got the Skif T-64B (#203) and the Eduard photoetch (35203) for the T-64A. I also picked up the Skif T-64 individual track links (#2032-92). I'm looking for the aluminum barrel. The kit looks fine to me in the box and since this tank was not exported (it was a disaster) there are not too many references. There are a couple of reference shots of the T-64 in the old Osprey Elite Series #26 Tank War-Central Front NATO vs. Warsaw Pact by Steve Zaloga. Not enough to warrant buying the book though. Even the Osprey Vanguard #37 Modern Soviet Combat Tanks, also by Zaloga, has a limited amount of information and pictures of the T-64. Just not that much out there on the T-64.

Here is the Cookie Sewell review of the kit T-64A
