Title: Christmas in July - Soviets get T-80 Reinforcements
Post by: Mako on 17 July 2017, 04:56:20 PM
I was doing a bit of sorting and organizing over the weekend, and happened to run across another box of 1/144th scale, prepainted and assembled, T-80s.

Score!

Apparently, I forgot about these, which weren't with some of the others I had.  Truly a wonderful surprise, so now the Soviets will have additional forces to use, as they roll across the European plains, sometime in the mid-late 1980s.

Can't wait to put them to use with the other armor available.

I might even post some pics, if/when I figure out how to do that, without acceding to Photobucket's $500 extortion demand to be able to permit that here.

Anyone know if there's a way to post photos directly here, from a PC?

When you go to post, click on Additional Options. You can attach images direct from your PC as long as they're the correct size.

Thanks for the tip on posting pics here.

Will give it a try.

It works!  

Small, home-made, cardstock, West German houses, with a Leopard 1 tank protecting them (dormer windows and chimneys are available as options for these too).

A pair of Leopard tanks opposing advancing T-72s, at a small West German settlement, in the rolling hills, near the border with East Germany.
