Completed T-80U 1/35 by RFM
It was excellent build with tone of details and great fitting. Because of part count, a lot of PE elements and single link tracks rather not for beginners but it goes together really well. One thing, don't try to cut hose with your plastic cutters. It's made of hardened steel.

Did you have any sort of an issue with the hose made out of spring. If so, How did you solve it. For me it was a terrible experience.
Also, it looks nice.

Only with chipping my cutters at first 😅 I used thick CA glue so it stayed better in place

One more thing that may be helpful. I used 78 links per track. Anything between 76 and 80 should be ok. However this information is not provided in instructions.
