Hi Steve,

You need to stop showing us 1/35 models and name them 1/72

Your build is fantatic well done.

P.A.

Steve,

Fabulous end result! I don't know why everyone says it looks like 1/35 when it's so much better than that. Closer to 1:1!

Cheers,
Jan

@stevegs – Steve,

If you’ve missed anything on this build I don’t see it! Then again I don’t know anything about modern Russian armor either. What I do know is that you’ve achieved a very realistic and well build rendition of the real thing. Just out of curiosity and for comparison I did manage to find plenty of 1 :1 photographs on the T-90 here on the Internet and still could not see anything missing. Other than perhaps a figure sticking out of a hatch it looks right to me.

You’ve done a masterful job on the build, camouflage and finish, I especially like the built up mud and grim on the lower chassis, which won’t come off with any of today’s current leading laundry detergents! There is one little thing that is bothering me, how about gently running a silver color pencil just over the track cleats. That area on the tracks would become polished through contact with the ground and pavement during use, are these are metal tracks on the real deal?

And is does look like a much larger build!

Thanks for sharing and posting your work here, hoping to see more.
