Here's my Skif T-64BV backdated into a T-64B with the turret anti-radition armor installed. I started with the T-64BV kit since I got it cheap, but your much better off getting the Skif T-64B kit to start with as a base. I had to remove all the anti-radition lining on the upper hull where the drivers hatch was! In addition to the Miniarm T-64B turret, I used MiniArm's Track set for the T-64 which is a godsend since its the only accurate T-64 track on the market that fits together! I also used Eduard PE sets for the T-64BV and T-64A kits and a bunch of sheet styrene and various bits of wire. I had to scratch build the applique armor on the front hull and replaced all the detail on the front hull. a Tamiya T-72 was also sacrificed for the cause for various detail pieces. The side skirts are in the process of being rebuilt...I'm using lead sheet to recreate the rubber found on them. I originally was going to recreate them using Magic sculpt, but didn't care for the outcome of that. I still need to add detail to them. The unditching log was make out of Magic sculpt and I'm pleased with the result. If you have any additional questions feel free to ask. I originally posted this on ML last week and its been painted and in the weathering process now. I'll post the completed photos in the next couple days.

Scott,
That an excellent T-64 model, I had bought a Skif T-64B but still on my shelves by reading the critics about the Skif model's quality. See your soviet tank built, that may give me more envy to build this one. Can't not waiting for your finished model!
Could you tell me more about the extra parts, detail accessories that you use to build this tank? may be a built story?
All the best,
