I know there is a work in progress going on in another post but just wanted to post this one here.

I cant take credit for the build. my good friemd Haydn did it in the early 90's based on the fuzzy photos available at the time. He used the DML T-72 and T-80 kits.

I find it remarkable the detail he got right based on that limited amount of information available back then. His detail on the autoloader is superb, and yet he initially had it hidden under a tarp.

I have always wanted a kit of this and admired his, and he gratiuosly donated it to me recently, as he claims it fits in better with my 1/35 collection than his 1/72 collection. I am eternally gratefull.

With his permission I have repainted it, to match into my mdern Russian collection so I take full responsibility for the inadequacies of that finish.

I know a plastic kit will eventually come, but this will always be a treasure of mine.






Hope the photos work, not uploaded before

Hope it enspires someone as much as it does me
Scott
