This 1:35 scale plastic model kit is designed for experienced modelers aged 14 and up who want to build a detailed replica of the Russian T-80BVM Main Battle Tank. The key benefit is its high level of detail and part count, offering a challenging and rewarding build experience. A caveat is that glue and paint are required but not included, and the complexity means it's best suited for those with prior modeling experience.

This model kit is manufactured in a 1:35 scale.
When fully assembled, the model measures approximately 280.2mm in length and 110.2mm in width.
Yes, glue is required for assembly, and paint is recommended for finishing. Neither are included with the kit.
This kit is suitable for ages 14 and up due to the complexity and small parts involved.
The kit contains over 1000 individual parts.
Yes, the kit can be built without paint, but painting will significantly enhance the realism and detail of the finished model.
This kit is best suited for intermediate to advanced modelers due to its high part count, detailed components like photo-etch parts, and the need for careful assembly and potentially painting techniques.
Double-check the part numbers against the instructions. Ensure no excess plastic (flash) is present on the mating surfaces. Gently sand or trim any excess material.
Ensure the surfaces are clean and free of dust or grease. Use the correct type of plastic cement and apply it sparingly to the contact points.
Use fine-tipped tweezers and a sharp hobby knife or photo-etch bending tools. Consider using a small amount of CA (super) glue for attaching small photo-etch parts.
Soaking individual track links in warm water can make them more pliable. Ensure they are assembled in the correct orientation as per the instructions. Test fit the track run around the sprockets and idlers before the glue fully sets.
Setup: This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly. Glue is necessary for joining parts. Follow the included instruction manual meticulously, paying attention to the order of operations and part numbers. It is recommended to work in a well-lit area with good ventilation.
Compatibility: This kit is a standalone product and does not require any other components for assembly. However, modelers may choose to use aftermarket accessories or paints for customization.
Care: Once assembled, the model should be handled with care to avoid damaging delicate parts. For display, keep it away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity, which can affect the plastic and paint finish. Dust can be gently removed with a soft brush or a can of compressed air on a low setting.
