Don't know about accuracy (i'm no expert at all)... it looks like a T-90, it feels like a T-90...it should be a T-90 !!
Looks great, will be here sitting waiting for the paint job

Awesome... Simply stunning... I like those scratchbuild items... Only one question: How did you make the anti-radiation cladding in the turret roof and glacis? I mrean, including those circles with holes... I have to scratchbuild that cladding as well. Thanks for sharing. Most regards.

Thanks a lot for your kindly reply

To Russell : The turret is just Tamiya T-72 turret, I rebuild it by plastic card & Tamiya epoxy putty


To Jose : The anti-radiation cladding is just Tamiya epoxy putty, using homemade mould to engrave those circles with holes

also, all wheels are homemade

Hey CT

Could you perhaps post more pics of this fine model? I never seen a decent build T-90 before. And yours looks really great I would like tot see some more pics. Can't wait to see it get some paint.

Geez, very very impressive! What are the main differences between a T-72 turret and a T-90 one?

The early T-90 are based on T-72B turrets. They're cast turrets, but even between a T-72B turret and a T-90 turret there are differences between the anti-radiation layer in the roof, they have different patterns. The most modern T-90 features a new welded turret, comparing the early cast turret with the recent welded turret, the differences are quite obvious... If you search in this forum you'll find some kit pics that show the differences. Hope this helps Most regards.
