Ingo F
Amazing work mate! 👍

Jakub Wiraszka
Thanks Ingo, I must admit it was a little challenge for me but I can't look on what Trumpy just threw into the box. Sadly but as always Trumpy became good base for huge amount of work...

Ingo F
Unfortunately that's true, but on the other hand it's good because you can do a lot on the model yourself. There's nothing interesting about a perfect model out of the box. I also have this model in my stash. I intend to convert it into the T-84-120 Yatagan (object 478N1).

Jakub Wiraszka
Ingo what I meant was rather huge amount of work with imperfections and a lot of mistakes in T-84 shapes that Trumpy did.... for instance T-80U from RPG also need some work but even if You will decide to make only out of the box model You'll will have quite nice result.
At the very beginning I tried to build T-84U obj.478DU-5 (Turkish tender if I'm not mistaken). Unfortunatelly, to few reference photos made to build DU-9 version. But anyway Yatagan is great idea as well, fingers crossed.

Ingo F
Unfortunately, this is almost always the case with Trumpy when it comes to quality and accuracy. In many cases, parts from other kits are recycled and the whole thing is sold as a new kit. Whether the kit is then really close to the real model is a different matter. Well, it will be interesting to see how the T-80U models from Amusing Hobby and Rye Field Model turn out. I wonder if they will also bring out the other versions of the T-80. I'm still considering whether to get it with or without the interior.

Jakub Wiraszka
I've seen some photos and it's clear that RFM will release the T-80UK right after the T-80U. But I have already seen some shortcomings, some details are not in scale, but overall I think this could be an example of a model with a good price-quality ratio. Anyway, I really like the rubber RPG parts...

Ingo F
I'm thinking about getting the interior version from Amusing. Assemble it and then i will draw the area that is visible with open hatches in 3D. I can then print this out if necessary and add it to the model. You don't need the complete interior, 95% of which will not be visible. That's what I intend to do with the T-72 and T-90 models from Amusing.

Jakub Wiraszka
That's great idea. With interior maybe someday🙂 recently I dont have time even to build without it....

MythialEn
If you don't mind, could you list some of the inaccuracy about this kit? I also wants to build this kit with accuracy but not sure where to start.

Cortex
Wow, extreme detailing. Excited for this build!

modelwork.pl/topic/5..-9-trumpeterscratch/ here You can find full build with details it ia in polish but I think you can easily translate this to english. It is better to follow the thread in forum than listing all corrections and changes, simply there are to many of them. I hope it will help You

Jakub Wiraszka
thanks Cortex, I don't know when i'll finish. Simply dont have enough time... nevertheles the time sooner than later will come 🙂

VERY nice work!

Excellent project, watching. The Argentine Étendard aircraft were effective in causing significant damage during the Falklands/Malvinas conflict.

Looking good, following. 👍 What do you use the Novus scratch remover for? Is it any good?

Will Dossel
I use it as a final step before priming to polish out tiny scratches. Also use it on clear parts - I think it gives a more realistic shine to clear parts than Pledge floor wax. First found out about it when I had to polish out a canopy that required a good bit of sanding.

Looking good so far, I will follow for the final leg.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Quite interesting! Well done, great work on an not so often seen subject.

Alexander
Looks nice, following.

Cuajete
Looking so good 👍

Thomas Kolb
What an absolute beast! Really beautiful. I will definitely look into the Novus scratch remover set. Does it leave some kind of residue on the plastic (like the Tamiya polishing compounds)?

Will Dossel
Thomas - easily cleaned with a lightly dampened cotton ear bud - I use the anti-static/dust/fog prep from the blue bottle as a final for the canopies. Overall, this process leaves a finish better and more natural looking than what I've seen from dipping in Future.

Nicolas
Nice result.👍

Thomas Kolb
It definitely looks intimidating. Great paintjob too, I like the subtle variation of the gray livery!

Ekki
Very good work!

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Mark de Boer
Looks very nice indeed!!!

Cuajete
Very nice. Congrats!

Cristian A
Wonderful job!

Michael Kohl
Well done

Villiers de Vos
Very nice.

Andrew Horton
Nice. How did you add the astro dome? That doesn't come with the kit from what I can tell, which is too bad.

Steve Brun
It was in my kit but wasn't listed on the instructions. My guess is for a later release of additin variants. Glad it was there because, like you, I didn't know how I was going to pull that one off😉

Paul Moore
Very nice presentation. Congratulations on a great build.

Steve Brun
Thanks Paul, One of my favorite books and what a great story that I can pass on when anyone looks at my shelf.

Super cool! I love projects with Viggen wearing the "leaves and meadows" camo. Your masks seem just perfect.

Fantastic work!

Thomas Kolb
That looks amazing! The colors seem pretty accurate too, very difficult to balance.

BEAUTIFUL!

You Dremeled stressed skin?

Michał Karczewski
Yes but is it done manually by round blade scalpel.

Andrew P
That's a lot of work! I'd like to see the end result.

Paul Moore
Stressed skin! Great idea. I'll be doing this kit in the not too distant future. You'll have to tell me what you've done. Great idea.

Paul Moore
Cumming, GA

Fantastic your work on the stressed skin 👍

A lot of work, but it's worth it.
