T-80 Ultracope
Description
As I like to collect weird and extraordinary tank models, I came across a video by RedEffect about the lastest T-80 BVM model. "Cope cages" are now in serial production and feature ERA mounted on them at angles. Let's face it, the russian military people might be dumb, but even they would have figured out that the "cope cage" doesn't work, if it wouldn't. What this must mean though, is that they are in fact not only for coping but that they at least work against drones. Also, new reinforced "bag armor" (a.k.a. "egg cartons") containers are on the sides of the hull and the turret. Some vehicles have even installed new mesh and anti-drone nets around the turret, hanging from the cope cage. It probably won't make it easier for the crew to get out of their tank in a hurry. And then there are new drone-jammers placed on the front of the turret. I was about to try to make a model of this on my own when I saw that ThudOne had made it already. However, I have a FDM printer that can't print a lot of fine details, so I replaced the core with M_Bergman's T-80 and thickened some parts as well to make them easier to print. Don't forget to print the side "egg carton" boxes twice, and mirror the copy! Like always I have cut the model up so that the parts can be printed on the cut surfaces to improve build plate adhesion and allow for greater resolution when printing upright. If anyone would like to have a version that is not cut apart for resin printing purposes, try ThudOne's original. Like the originals the model scale is 1:100. Note: I haven't printed this yet, but I checked it in Cura and didn't see any problems. I will print it soon and will update this once I have a make.
