Hi,

Modelpoint has two different T-90 guns, the newest version of this guns is 125 mm 2A46M-4, it is the gun that one must be use for Zvezda kit I think (first link), altough I don't know exactly that these aftermarket barrels are accurate..

MENG is working on a new t-90 family, maybe you better wait.
Zvezda is so unaccurate:( Nicely molded, but too much misstakes...

RB models has a very good metal 2A46M barrel, but it is a T-72 barrel (from Soviet Era)..
On the other hand Zvezda's T-90 kit is a T-90 2004+ (welded turret) and these tanks using 2A46M-4 or 5 which is a bit different and advanced . These new guns are equal to L55 caliber Nato guns.. Only aftermarket metal barrel option is Modelpoint as far as I know...
Despite the barrel that Zvezda provided in the box is looking good, it is wrong too...

This link is very informative about Soviet/Russian tank guns:

125 mm main guns

Take a look at the guns specifications chart..
