T-80

Manufacturer: Revell

By Stephen Brezinski

This is one of Revell's earliest 1/72 AFV kits and not as refined as today's Revell releases; in fact it is no secret that it is missing a number of turret assessories included in their later T-80BV kit.  [The T-80BV also includes reactive-armor blocks for the turret and hull.] Tracks are link & length. Extra Tech produces an etched brass set supplying the missing turret basket and other parts. I scratchbuilt the tow cable and several of the missing turret items. A nice model despite its problems.
