Of course its just a CAD work, but it looks quite good.
The only awkward thingy is the main gun barrel, seems a bit skinny, or is it just me?

Anyway, will be waiting this one with expectation!! (and a bit afraid about its final price...)
And just waiting also the usual plethora of complainings and criticizing comments about Trumpeter kits....

Trumpeter kits keep getting better with every single release. The criticism is necessasy. I really like the t64 series. Of this kit is researched by the same team, we are about to get a real gem.

The screen capture were done using dimetric view so that's the reason the proportions are all wonky.

I took that in account, but even on their FB page the gun barrel looks too "thin".
Let's wait the actual kit to be released, and see...

I wouldn't go off of CAD images, let's wait and see what they have to show for actual product images.

The closer something is to a 45-135-225-320 degree asymptote in dimetric the more distorted it will appear. Picture 1 in the flyer shows pencil like gun barrel while un-numbered pic in the bottom has it at a proper looking size. Barrel in Pic 1 is close to 225 line so it's long and slender, bottom pic is closer to a 180 line with way less distortion going on. Equally, air filter intake section looks massive on Picture 3 but undersized on pic 17.

I don't think the barrel will be a problem, cuz they already have 2A46 mounted T-64B variant

The one on T-64B is incompatible with T-90's FCM.

I hope they offer the M1992 version with welded turret! MENG covered the newer model pretty damn well.

The key take away that I had from that photo was the breakdown in tooling on the forward hull and engine deck!

To my mind, those are all a function of setting this up to be a T-72 as well!

I too love the T-64s that I have, and am hopeful for great things from this series!

They showed the box art for the welded turret version last month.

The Meng kit is set up similarly...so T-72 from them are also very possible.

Just wonder who will be the first to market with either a T-72B or a T-72AV
