T-80 Brass Detail Set

Manufacturer: ExtraTECH (Kit No. EXV 72 007)

This nice set is composed of 25 parts, which include:

• engine deck screens
• snorkel rack
• searchlight mount
• MG mount and ammo box
• headlight guards
• gunsight glare shield
• side skirts and handles
• turret bustle rack

Although not as extensive as the Eduard T-80 set, that set is more suited for the early T-80 releases, such as Matchbox, i.e., the kits which were missing many turret details. This ExtraTECH set is better suited for the Revell release of the T-80, which already has all of those previously missing details. The quality of the etching on this set is fantastic, and not readily apparent on the above scan. The detail on the side skirts in particular, is especially fine. Once again, if money is no object, I would recommend the Eduard set over this one, but this is an extremely fine set also, and you won't go wrong with it. Recommended.

Thank you to ExtraTECH for providing this set for review.
