    Trumpeter 1/35 T-80BVD

    Good day to you dear readers.. Hope you readers having a good day and all is well with you guys.

    Yes, this is the T-80 that I have been building so slowly for about 2 months. Finally took some times off to take photos of this.

    I have purposely taken off the fuel drums as I think this baby looks better without them. I also took off the cables ... well.. just because. I have no reason for taking off the tow cables LOL.

    For the Colours, I used Tamiya Dark Green XF-70, Vallejo Air Black and Mr. Colour Aqueous Aircraft Gray H57.

    For weathering, I kept the entire vehicle clean, free of chippings and collected dust. Since this is a prototype ( according to what I have read at Armorama ), I wanted to put this in a scenario where they are testing out performance with the diesel engine on a relatively new vehicle.

    Well, that's about as much I can sum up about the build. More informations and more photos and bigger ones (4000X3000) can be found on my blog -

    Please do have a look and thank you so much in advance for any feedback you guys may have. C&C are welcomed. Just be gentle... LOL.

    Thank you for always supporting and for the kind words and various encouragements.

    Until the next launch.

        Looks really fine to me, and the mud effect is excellent. The camouflage is spot on!

            That's really nice Gary - the camo is excellent & not easy to do on modern tanks with all their equipment projecting everywhere!

            I like the mud & weathering too, it's nice to see something mucky

            Cheers

                    I would never guess that it's made of plastic.
