T80

.
Just won this T80 on Ebay for less than the kit price, so couldn't resist. A little bit of weathering and it should be sorted! I plan to use the T80 as a generic Soviet tank which will be supplemented by a couple of T64Bs from Shaun at S&S Models. Now, believe me, it's well worth emailing Shaun for the S&S pdf catalogues. He has a lot of decent modern Soviet and ex-Warpact kit suitable for Alcovia. I also find him ready to answer any query and turn round an order very quickly.


Shaun emails me to say "Look Mark, I have 'X' now available, are you interested?" As a busy professional with lot's going on at work keeping my mind distracted, this proactive approach means other 20mm Modern or 15mm Sci Fi manufacturers can lose out. And I know that I can just email Shaun back and be confident of receiving the package through my letterbox by the end of that week.

Cheers
Mark

Nice score! I am almost willing to pay for the prepainted/assembled kits. I hate putting models together and am not very good at it either.

I would prefer gaming models, they ares simpler and hold up better, but so far there are some obvious holes in the list of gaming models available.

LOL. that's funny - I had my eyes on that dudes' auction. I wanted the T-62 to repaint it for my Iraqis but forgot to place my bid. :-)
