1/72 T-80 BV

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From the manufacturer:

Introduced in 1985, the T-80 BV features blocks of explosive reactive armor (ERA) which are fitted to the vehicle’s front end, the sides, and turret. When a vehicle is hit by a heat projectile, that particular ERA block explodes to minimize the effect of penetration. In addition to more conventional ammunition, the 125mm 2A46 main gun of the T80 BV is also capable of firing 9M112 “Kobra” (AT-8) missiles. The 12.7mm NSVT anti-aircraft machine gun fitted to the commander’s cupola is used for air defence. Weighing roughly 12.5t, the vehicle is powered by a gas turbine which develops some 1050hp.
