Dicky I was gonna use an xact hull but seeing as I had almost finished the bulk of the other I shall use the one I started with. The main difference between the hulls of the T80 BV AND T80 u is the reactive armour. Turrets are very different.
The hulls a mix up too Skiff lower Dragon upper Skiff fuel cells Dragon details reworked engine deck
Thanks Martyn and Paul

Basic hulls are the same but the T80U reactive looks more built in. I have to say I think I will get more out of this sticking to the original plan.................well I hope I do and I still have options if the hull don't finish right, I suppose I can use xact.

Well whatever you're using Mac, it's all coming together like they were intended for each other and that's what counts! I think Dicky's confused and should head straight to just building a 'Q' class electric!  |

Nice etch additions Mac, very thoughtful for Skif to save you the trouble but not providing any details at all on their contributions. |
