Hi guys,

I just got Meng's T-90A and was wondering if the badge on the turret with the red star and flag is used in the units or just in parades. I wish to build mine as an operational vehicle and not as one in a parade.

Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

Is it this insignia you are referring to?



If it is this denotes a vehicle of a Guards unit. There would be plenty of them deployed operationally from time to time so using that insignia wouldn't be wrong or anything. The only thing I would add is that in some situations the crews would (I'm guessing here) probably remove it or cover it up due to its bright colors.

That's the one. I will add it then, just for some colour.

Thank you for your reply.

Meng decals have made an error on the Guards badge, 1 and 3 positions 2 and 4 are mirrored.
