Heres my Skif T-64B Finished up. I used Skif T-64BV as a starting point, Miniarm's Tracks and T-64B Turret, Both Eduard PE sets for the T-64A and T-64BV, and parts from Tamiya's T-72 for detailing.

Looks fantastic, the subtle weathering is perfectly done. I would straighten out the track block on the L/R below the sprocket for a flawless build. Congratulations....

Pretty darn nice finish - I agree with the suggestion (if possible) to tweak the left rear track run hanging from the Drive Sprocket too.

HI
WOW !!! That is quite an improvement over an OOTB Skif kit!! Great paint and weathering, looks very reaistic!
Agree re the rear track run, maybe back it up HARD against something ...?

That's was an excellent T-64 built from your first post on Armorama Forum - all I have to do is buying the tracks and Eduard PE sets

Excellent T-64.
What a pity that MiniArm add-ons are so expensive. They increase the kit by threefold but the final result is too good.
Dilemma cost vs accuracy

Excellent work Scott. Your T-64B looks amazing. Very nice paintjob and very nice weathering.
The oil spil is a great detail.

Nice Russkie,
Great paint finish, and suttle weathering job. I love the tone and contrast. Keep up the good work

HI
Never get tired looking at well built kits. You captured the look and feel of the T-64.
With all that effort you put in I would expect to see a new tool, up to date kit from Tamiya or DML or Trump :-)
Thanks again for sharing !

That's a gorgeous build... Can I ask how you created the oil spills?

should there be any country markings or no?

For everyone asking about the fuel spills...they where done with a mixture of Mig pigments (brown/black) and Future.
