To the wise Magi of TMP: Aside from QRF who makes T-64's in 15mm? I want to do some comparative shopping but except for QRF, I can't find anything. Thanks in advance for any guidance which you could offer. Cheers and good gaming. Rod Robertson. |

Could have sworn that Old Glory had one but it's only T55 and T72. None in the Battlefront Arab-Israeli line either. |

Quality Castings, perhaps. |

If you can live with it being approx 10% larger than 15mm, there are a few 1/87 options out there. Mind you they are not cheap. I received my first QRF order last week, ordered a sample of all their T64 and T80 variants. Am planning on painting them prior to a proper review, but if I had to chose either their T64 or T80 ranges I'd go the T80. In saying that, the QRF T64's I have are fine, but am looking forward to seeing others release a version, especially in resin (or better still plastic). Using the zvezda plastic T72b as a benchmark for size, both match up fairly well with it. |

19th Century/Old Glory 15s/Quality Castings doesn't currently offer a T64. I think QRF is it. |

But we do have nice T-64s (A, B and BV)…

And a T-64K by any chance?!!! Tally Ho! |

Geoff, I'd love to see a pic of your T-64B as well. |
McWong73 | 29 Mar 2015 12:05 p.m. PST |
Your T64a is good, didn't notice I had ordered one till just now. Have you considered selling optional brass barrels for the BMP's? |
GeoffQRF | 29 Mar 2015 12:27 p.m. PST |
Other than an aerial, how much difference is there with the K? The BMP-1 barrels are generally ok. The BMP-2s might benefit from brass barrels, but it all adds to the cost |

I've got a company of Geoff's T64Bs due onto the painting table soon. A quick look shows it to be a decent model. |

The T-64k does not have an MG and has an extra tube with the snorkels (For an antenna mast) Tally Ho! |

To All: Tanks for your input. Geoff: It would be helpful if there were photos of the T-64 B and BV on your page. I will probably go with QRF but wanted to check out options. There don't seem to be too many options however so Geoff will probably hear from me soon. Oh, and Geoff – LAV III's and variants! He-he-he. Cheers and thanks all. Rod Robertson |

Geoff, I'm suggesting it as an optional extra to offer. It's a convenience really for overseas orders more than anything else. |

Sorry Mark!! I should have mentioned you. We can ship bulk orders quite quickly to Mark, which should save you on shipping rates in the US. |

Yes, the QRF T-64s are lovely. Rod, the QRF T-64B model has side-skirts (the T-64A doesn't) and has the large sight box for the AT-8 in place of the gunner's periscope. |

Jemima Fawr: Thanks for the description and details. Cheers. Rod Robertson |
