The Official T-84 Oplot Thread

[AnthonyWan]

Well, I thought I'd get started on this thread right now, as this is going to probably turn out being a very long and tedious process :lol:.

Everything will be based off the model seen at the IPMS Nationals 2008, seen here:

Info sheet with the model.

Starting with references:

http://www.morozov.com.ua/eng/body/t84.php

Site includes two shots of interior as well as basic layouts of the topside/front.

http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/T-80U.htm

General info site on the T-80UD, on which the T-84 is based. About 3/4 down is the Oplot info, with drawings.

Original Inspiration: T-84 Oplot from Point of Existence Mod for Battlefield 2 computer game B)

So far, the parts break down is:

-Dragon/Skif 1/35 T-80UD base kit

-Miniarm Turret with extensive modification for turret 'attachments', bustle, weapons. Provisions for autoloader, and seperated crew and ammo compartments.

-SP Designs Roadwheels, Detail Parts for T-80 with modification for T-84 spec.

Well...that's it for now. Research will continue with construction set to begin sometime early next year.
