V splashboard on T-80
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 6:44 pm
Why doesn't the base T-80 model W45 have the V splashboard on the hull? The V splashboard was a common feature on the T-64, T-72, and T-80.
Virtually every photo I've seen in TankNet, Bariatinsky's book, Zaloga's book, all have T-80s with the V splashboard except for a very few pics of the first prototypes...
I really wish they could revise the T-80 model by including the V splashboard that was on probably about 99.5% of the ones deployed.
I feel bad about posting this because as GHQ can attest by the orders placed over the years, I absolutely love the detail of the minis. Absolutely incredible.
