Lindberg 1/35 T-80 model kit

Not a World War II model, but has anyone attempted this particular Russian tank kit? I'm told that it's accuracy leaves much to be desired. Bought this kit several years ago and recently discovered it's forgotten, dust-covered box in my garage. Oh well, I can always practice airbrush technique on it :P

Bad, bad kit Slater. It's old and even the newer T-80s by Skif and DML haven't been that accurate. It's really hard to capture the lines of a modern Russian tank. The only kit everyone agrees upon is the Tamiya T-55 which came out this year. My advice, practice on the Lindberg kit. Sorry.

Best Regards,

Agreed, those SKIF models are not good, probably because they are Ukranian, and they get shitty models, that's why probably their prices are cheaper

Don't want to be mean

Critiques accepeted,
