Looks excellent.
I'm kind of a modern Russian newbe, but aren't these vehicles used in the Ukranian conflict?

Good work.
I'm also building this kit and while it is very detailed, it's a pity Meng has not really made any improvements over their previous releases such as the T-90s (only one position for the gun, no optional parts if you do not wish to fit the fuel drums, some parts are so fiddly it is almost impossible to remove them from the sprues without breaking them etc)
BTW I answered your question about the bent over tube on the turret, here :

NB : This feature has been missed by every single plastic manufacturer !

Thanks for your response - The only other area I can see that model is lacking in is the lack of any brake/locking handles on the AA MG - it's missing all of them!

K5..? The turret is ok, there's just a bit of a gap at the back.
