The figures look excellent... great details! Thank you for not helping me at all! I was torn between T-80 and T-90 to buy and build... leaned toward ti T-80. Now I am so confused... LOL You will probably tell me to build BOTH!
You have my attention... looking great!

Well Duh!! both it is And I am totally on board, modern soviet stuff has always interested me but also totally confused me due to the variety of marques etc, but these new kits seem to be smoothing that out, I like the Forrest Gump approach, simple is, as simple does. Seriously though its a great kit, I have not gotten bored once yet!!

Yeah, I was only into WWII armors but somebody here twisted my arm to build a modern tank. That Challenger II you saw this morning is my first and now I am afraid I am hooked. Have been looking around to build a Russian modern tank... LOL

Looking good, Vlad!
With the recent rash of new-tooled T-90's over the past year or so, is there any consensus on which one is "the best"?

Dupes, I am in no way an expert on these, this one has been getting top reviews and is supported by a Russian expert on the T90, its really nicely presented too with a great info/ instruction book, clear directions. All rounder I would say With that said Trumpies version is well reviewed too. But I have not seen it to compare.

Leon, thanks muchly, glad to have you along.
Dicky, the 3 tone scheme based in the Caucasus is the one I fancy, an out on manoeuvres setting. Just need to get the colours cracked, so if you have any suggestions? Lifecolour is my preference.

Vlad - Not sure how fussed you are about 'accurate' matches - to my mind they don't actually exist. If yer want a close approximation and are particularly keen on Lifecolour then surprisingly enough I find their WW2 Polish colours a very good match, including that elusive 'Russian Modern Grey/Blue': Lifecolour Polish Army 1939The other option is Mig's new AMMO Set: AMMO Modern Russian Camo ColoursHope these help? Colours are all subjective I find anyhow, weather and environment, maintenance etc, if it's close or looks right..... That'l do Gromit! Would never have considered Polish colours..... Thanks for that will take a look see. Still not sure about AK/Ammo paint, have quite a few of the original AK washes and really like them......

It certainly is Mence, I would go to say the turret has as many parts as the hull, certainly where all the action is!
