Several retailers are carrying the t-80u and a couple still show the t-80uk as arriving sometime this month.

Hi;

The T-80u can still be seen; But I have only seen two (2) in the last Four month's & both are extremly High priced !! The T-80uk was never officially announced, and I Dought if we will see Xact at any time in the Future !

CHEERS; MIKE.

I doubt we'll see it either but the T-80u can be found for under $60 at a couple of places.

There is the option to wait for Trumpeter's release of their T-80U (kit #09525).

The last post on their fb page was December of 2014 and their web site is gone so looks to me they are done.

March 11 Trumpeter and HB posted box photo of kit 09511 Ukrainian T-84. Looks pretty firm to me.

March 7 on FB, they posted picture of a "U" and "UD" upper hulls with Cast turrets sitting side by side.

Hi;

O.K. we got lucky, they released the T-84 early. Lets Hope the T-84M show's up before X-mas, I already have my T-84, I went ahead and ordered it when it was first announced, altho I have not cracked open the box as of yet.
Just to many open box projects already on my work bench, I'm really eager to get my hands on the Black Eagle !!

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hobby Link Japan has the T-80, by Xact Scale Model, you can pre-order...with a May 2019 release.

Although the site mentions that this kit was released In October 2017, this seems to be a re-issue. Still good news however!

I believe it originally had an August 2018 release date on HLJ and every time the month runs out they reset it for a month away. To the best of my knowledge nobody has heard from the company in close to a year.

Hi Everybody;

I Would Not Hold Gospel on Info from HLJ; unless they found an Unclaimed warehouse of Xact scale kits. from A personal standpoint I loved there T-80u kit, and I have four kits in my collection, two on my work bench and one being converted into the BARS Leopard using the SP Design conversion; AND NOW; Trumpeter releases there kit !
GO FIGURE !! From the Source I have in H.K. there out altogether unless they found A Financial backer !!
WELL Lets hope So, in any account !!!!!!! ANY VOLUNTEERS !!

CHEERS; MIKE.
