Top one looks like the Zvezda kit,and to my eyes,looks a lot better.....just different ways of trying to depict the same thing..Nearly!

Looks much crisper to me as well. Lets see what Trumpeter does now. I would bet its a damn sight better than what i see in the Meng kit.....ay Dicky, what say you?  |

OH Man, Those Tracks look sweet! Their more affordable than Fruils to right? Nems i got myself a T-72 metal barrel for my T-90. They are practically the exact same barrel. I only need to position it a bit different like the T-90 does....Top line to about the 11:00- 11:30 clock position. Know what i mean? C'mon Trumpeter!!! |

Nice to see everyone here is getting excited about this build cant wait myself other projects will be on hold while this is on looking at the 2 shots of the Zveda and Meng im going to go for the Zveda as the quality looked better in my eyes also the grey plastic looks better for blogging im going for a 3 tone camo like the box art unless something else catches my eye before the start also i have been looking at fruils for my build and they say there are 2 versions a steel track or steel track with rubber pads does it matter which 1 to go for? would the no pads option be easier to put together?

I'm guessing that there aren't a LOT of markings on a T-90, but I know I'm deficient in all of them as I'll be converting a T-72 kit. Anyone know of any aftermarket sets? Or does the Zvezda kit come with multiple markings I might bum off of one of you?

Gary I'm not sure the T72 barrel is interchangeable - I know they're both 125mm but I'm sure the spacing on the thermal sleeve is different.....not 100% but I'll look into it Dicky, on closer inspection of the Metal barrel and the kit barrel the sleeves are only slightly different, but different none tha less. One big issue would be mounting the metal to the turret, look like it may be much more trouble than its worth.  One way to resolve the issue is to get a T-72 kit and mount that barrel on it! Man, i wanna see some sprue shots of that Trumpy T-90! |

Gary, I would like to join in this GB but I got no T-90...  but I am tempted to pick up the Meng one, was on their web site and saw some sprue shots...looks very nice, even comes with an engine. I like the idea of the no deadline....right up my ally! Paul |

Dicky caught Trumpyvitis several years ago and hes not been cured yet! Geuss its better than catching a Hobby Craft virus or tha like.   |

One way to resolve the issue is to get a T-72 kit and mount that barrel on it!
