It looks to be the first pic of one. At least we know it has the folding, extended bustle rack.

Which model of T-80 is that?

[sgeorges4]

I reccall reading it was a U but I’m not sure

[Simon_Barnes]

It’s a T 80B with added K1 ERA which would technically make it a BV but in this case it’s a B as they haven’t repositioned the smoke dischargers and left them on the turret front, also doesn’t have the classic V set up of the ERA blocks along the front

The T 62 ran through a baseball backstop.

Just a reminder this is a “scale modeling” topic not a place to put videos with long range videos of tanks getting blown up. Sorry but there is little to no modeling value there. If you want to post Ukraine war related news or info it goes in https://forums.kitmaker.net/c/general-discussions/off-topic/133

Thanks!

That’s an eclectic mix of tank, made for some interesting identification, not sure what the latest T 72B is called?

Any vendor that sells weathering pigments could use that tank in the top picture as their advertising poster child.

Thanks for sharing
