T-80BPhotoetched Brass

Manufacturer:Eduard (# 22012)

This setcontains 197 parts, which include:

• headlight guards
• front hull armor plating
• engine deck screens
• side skirts
• mine plow
• fenders
• storage boxes and racks
• fuel drum racks and details
• IR searchlight
• smoke grenade launchers
• multitude of turret details

One majorcomplaint of the Matchbox/Monogram/Revell T-80B (aside from poorturret shape) was the missing turret details, such as grenadelaunchers, storage boxes, etc. This set provides all of thosemissing details, and much more. It is an excellent set, which Irecommend, but much of it would be wasted if used with the RevellT-80 BV, which already includes many of the missing turretdetails in plastic. I have not seen the Galaxy T-80, so I'm notsure how much of this set could be used with that kit, or even ifit would be worth it in the first place. The instructions are alittle vague in the placement of some parts.
