T-90 Russian Main Battle Tank

T-90 Russian Main Battle Tank

The latest armor from Zvezda which has been available lately on a Ukrainian site but not yet on HK or other sites.
Priced at $36 a piece (shipping is free if order is over $150), I think it's worth every cent.

This is one sturdy, heavy box, bigger than normal Zvezda's armor box:

There are 6 big-sized sprues, only two of which are identical:

The molding quality is very good, crisp and clear. Tracks are Link and Length type, with sagging appearance:

Apart from the 6 big-sized sprues, there are these parts:

Instruction sheets consist of 12 pages, here are most of them:

Have fun!

Thanks, Mats! This one will be built in the next batch by my main modeler named "Art Instructor".

Did you see the topic on Missing-lynx about part # F103 being missing in some kits?

Thanks for the info, Erik. I checked mine and found out that part F103 is there, and I wonder how could it be missing in some cases.

Cool looking tank. Looks like it is a very intricate kit. One thing I've never liked though is the multi part hull. So easy to make a mistake and muck up the whole thing. Looking forward to seeing this one done.Which scheme are you thinking about doing?

I wonder how could it be missing in some cases.

In most cases, it was short shot. This means not enough plastic to fill that section of the sprue tree. So, the part, and sprue section, are missing. Zvezda supposedly fixed this so your kit is a newer batch.
