Thats a nice scene you've placed the T-90 in Olivier, it compliments it really well. The camo and weathering are spot on too- great job!

Oh how Russian armor has evolved. From the KV-1 to the T-90. You have really done and excellent job! I don't see any markings, but I suppose that was never mainstream on Russian armor. The base compliments it very well. The only negative criticism is that the tank appears to be floating on a muddy road. I would think there would be mud on the tracks, road wheels and front, lower hull. I'm saving this one for when I make my swing back to Russian armor and do one, myself

There is a problem with Zvezda's kit. With turret exactly. It should be 1mm higher.

1mm in 35 scale is 3,5 cm in the actual size. It's quite hard to notice that flaw. There are other bigger issues in my opinion in Zvezda kit. The tank shape looks higher than the real one. Maybe the suspensions arms are in a place which is higher than they would be or the hull is too high. I can live with 1 mm of discrepancy. I can't accept that the model shape looks quite different from the real one. Zvezda model looks far less "agressive" than a real T-90.


Anyway, the kit is crisp and nicely done. I'll try to correct that flaws when I'll tackle mine
My two cents anyway

It should be 1mm higher because of the turret. It's boxes will be on the tank itself.
