This is my Skif T-64B M1984. The kit was backdated from a Skift T-64BV kit. I used the excellent Miniarm T-64B M1984 Turret and T-64 Tracks. I also used Eduard's PE sets for the T-64A and T-64BV on it and a Tamiya T-72 was sacrificed for detail parts like the convoy lights etc.

You make me sick Scott. Damned that is a good looking T-64. Almost makes me want to challenge it with a M1A1 or something...

This thing looks so good, I may wait and enter something in MoM in January...

Amazing.

I love it.

The shadding on the smoke launcher caps just stuned me. I know it's only a little thing, but it's the little things that make a good build a great build - and this really is a great build

Good luck

Nice one Scott.
What are these elements on the back of turret for?
BTW why most of russian vehicle has piece of limber in the back? I was always wondering and coudn't resist to ask.

Parts on the back of the turret are the snorkels for fording.

The lumber at the back of the tank is a unditching beam, used for, well, unditching when the tank is stuck.

I still think Scott did too good of a job (I am jealous!)
