MENG - T90A Main Battle Tank

[takeslousyphotos]

Well I have Bronco's Chinese T-99 to build at some point which is not dissimilar to your T-90 - so they'll be swearing & cursing coming from me then!

I did my share of that with this one......... Some of the smaller bits drove me nuts. Particularly the mounting frames for the laser dazzles either side of the main gun. There were a gazillion bits and they had to be made up in stages and fitting them was a proper mission that I could have used seven hands each with a pair of tweezers.

Very nice model Peter.


Very unusual camouflage. Interesting that camouflage is to protect


the tank from being spotted.


When you build a model the camouflage actual attracts viewers to it.


Nice work not having ever built a tank I was never sure how much work


goes into them. Yours there is a lot.

Undeniably bloody awesome mate. The model is absolutely bristling with detail and captures the sense of weight that heavy armour gives in reality. Loving this build and I'm very close to being tempted back to doing some armour modelling, wasn't very good at it initially with plenty of room for improvement and with builds like this as well as all the others on this forum there is plenty to aspire to.

Thanks Tommy. The camo was the easy bit. But I'm pleased with the result.

The camo was the easy bit........... I "Crashed and Burned" on the headlights as well John. The frames are virtually impossible to build. They just got all floppy and fell apart at the mere mention of trying to stick the headlights on them I still have them in the box. When I get some time, I'm going to make up some frames out of some fine brass wire. Then I'll drill out the holes to mount them. So right now it is headlight-less until I get a few hours to do it right.
