I bought the Shangai Dragon T-80 UD, it is actually a good kit. I ordered
the brass too!
thanks for the help guys.

external characteristics of the Russian machines plus a strange breathing
device (or something similar) behind the turret over the engine grilles.
They bought them in 2 "blocks", the tanks of the second one having also
"Shtora" IRCM devices. even the crews wear russian tanker's helmets (!). I
will try to send you some pictures of them. The only bad thing is that you
cannot easily find a model kit in 1/35(the older SMT1989 of Dragon or Skif's
T-80UD).
