You have to realize that the T-90 was in the very early stages of development - just CAD images - and they only announced it back then to counter Zvezda's announcing theirs.. I guess to make some people refrain from buying Zvezda's kit and wait for the MENG offering.

MENG have commented on their Facebook page that it's only a partial interior. But I guess that's still better than nothing.. if it gives us a base to work with

Ok, I have one question, don't want to start another thread since this one is exactly about what I want to know.

Does someone knows what is the historical error that was on the first cover photo, please?

Wrong -early- tracks for an IFOR vehicle. So Meng seems to have eliminated the IFOR markings, and keep the "old" style tracks...
