1st - sweet build, you still have the touch.
2nd- Glad to see you back.[<:o)]
The tank commander gained 20 lbs. [:D]
Nice job! [:D[
Yeah, your work looks great!![:D[, but I’m with some others, when I saw the title, I was picturing this:
THIS is a T-80 to me[whstl]
When I saw that I thought military ice cream truck. [:D]
I would like to build one of those T-80’s. Wide tanks with big guns…
Fantastic work! [Y] Best T-80 I have seen. Have this same kit in stash and yours gives much inspiration to get it out and start building. Really like how the exhaust pipes came out and the weathering is flawless. Looking forward to see your next build.

Hi Ron : )
I knew I recognized this little tank ! the detail work on the exhaust gave it away to me ! It is so subtley similar to your T 70 you built for Tigerman’s KURSK group build … I remember it well and now I can add pics of this T 80 along side it… Nice to see ya back ,dude

Treadster old pal great to see ya i believe you were working on a king tiger? are you posting a blog anywhere i would love to see what you are doing your big scale super detailed builds were awesome i still tell myself one day i will try it
Ron - Nothing has changed, you are back in the saddle again. Very nice work. the asbestos on the muffler is a nice touch. The final weathered look is spot on.
Now, I will say I am in Gino’s corner…sooo confused…I first saw Biffa and a T-80…naaaa. The I see it was the T-80s grandfather! [*-)] I will stay with my US stuff
It is great to have you back
