First steps on the T-80 B
Like I promised, here are the first of the construction images of the T-80 B. I started with the assembly and mock up of the turret and turret details. As you can see already, the fit of the parts is not the best. This continues around the front (gun) and rear as well. There is going to be quite a lot of filling sanding involved in this model.

... and the same area after sanding.
I omitted pictures of the rear area because, you guessed it already, it just shows more of the same … the ill-fitting turret assembly. Once I had the front gun into the proper position it did show quite a big gap as well. More on that one later as well.
The other side before ...
... and after sanding
I will continue with the chassis and the chain assembly … let’s have a look how this one comes out.
