Trumpeter 05565 1/35 T-80B Scale Tank Model Overview

The Trumpeter 1/35 Russian T-80B Main Battle Tank (MBT) model kit gives scale modellers a hands-on way to recreate a key Cold War armoured vehicle. The T-80B is noted for its gas turbine engine and advanced armour layout, and this kit reflects those defining features in miniature form.

Cold War Background and Model Accuracy

Introduced in the late 1970s, the T-80B marked a step forward with composite armour and superior mobility. This kit highlights those historical developments with faithful proportions and detailed turret and chassis components for accurate scale representation.

Assembly Notes and Display Potential

The Trumpeter 1/35 T-80B challenges builders with a range of small parts that reward careful assembly. Moulded in durable plastic, the kit requires glue and paint to reach display quality, and finished models make strong centrepieces for military model collections or dioramas.
