New poster in this general, and I kinda wanted to vent a little here...
>Be me, have a little over 200 dollars to spend on making a T-72AV in 1:35 scale.
>Go on Amazon, purchase the Tamiya T-72, and on Ebay purchase the Voyager T-80BV PE (Mainly for the ERA attachments on the turret and bricks), Miniarm Kontakt-3 bricks (For this kit and for future projects), the SBS Model T-72A turret, and the RB Models T-72 125mm L/48 gun, and order the SP Designs T-72A front hull.
>Spend a little over 175 dollars.
>It ends up being a complete failure, mainly stemming from my inexperience as a modeller. Paint (Mainly Tamiya acrylics) looks nice, and the turret looks good, but the PE mainly got destroyed making it, and I feel as if this thing's a money-sink.
>Go on google images because I remembered the T-72M4CZ is basically just a modded T-72M, and see that it essentially uses the same turret shape as the T-72M1s with TURMS-T, and I could have gotten the T-80BV for the bricks and for making another T-80 at another time, and it would have all probably come out to around ~120 USD.
>That 50 dollars could have gone to getting another kit or a PE set for the T-80.
It feels really bad man.
