T-80 MBT Upgrade!!!

Most of the world's armies seem to be upgrading their stockpile of MBTs - so with that in mind, why shouldn't we here at SOUND OFFICERS CALL do the same?

This is the same, bland, T-80 from Command Decision I presented a few months back.  I think with the camo scheme it looks a little more "interesting" and intimidating...It's a slight deviation from that inter-Russian green and grey and burnt sienna brown scheme I've seen, but again it looks good.

The black was supposed to be very limited, but it looked so darn good I though I would just outline the tan with it.  Enjoy!

cool pic





his better side...


cool shot.  i could have been a tad more careful with the tan but it still looks good for the wargaming table.




next to the MERDC M-60 for scale!  (just finished a small game with him and his friends)
Now to paint the rest of the battalion in the same scheme, and when my Zvezda hot war guys show up, I'll paint them the same way.  Huzzah!

    1. Thanks, Nick. Much better than with the dark green overcoat! I am going to paint up the whole tank regiment in this scheme, along with the recon and mech.

    1. Thanks, Ski. I'm liking how it turned out. Can't wait until i get that zvezda stuff in. Right now I have 5 more T-80s to round out the Battalion, along with a BMP-2 and a BRDM-2.

      They'll be squaring off against 2 x M1A1 tanks, 2 M113 APCs, and an AH-64 lol. 15mm is expensive!!!

    1. Thanks, Gowan - I thought it turned out much better than when I put the initial coat on! Russian tanks sure are neat looking.

    1. Thanks, Paul - I think I can only get better. Going to paint the whole MRB and Tank Battalion in that scheme.

      By the way - stay tuned as I delve into the seedy and untidy world of 1/72 scale aircraft. I have an A-4, A-7 and a few UH-1s to knock out for my LZ X-Ray battle....
