On the Range. Russian T-90. Zvezda 1/35

[Rangerboy83]

So I don't normally build modern Armour but I couldn't resist having a crack at a T-90. Plenty on the market but I opted for the Zvezda offering as its under 30 quid and from what I heard was a decent kit. I only had one drama with the build and that was the plumbing for the external fuel tanks. A more experienced modeler could probably easily fix that. I just opted to leave them off in the end out of being lazy and couldn't be bothered trying to rectify it.

The model was primed in Vallejo black primmer and I used varying Vallejo colours for the camouflage scheme. I used a J workshop camouflage mask, panzer putty and masking tape to assist in achieving the hard edge. The black was painted by hand using Vallejo black with some airbrush flow improver to make it easier to brush paint. I got the figure from Evolution miniatures and scratch built the base taking some inspiration from some pics I've seen of these things live firing in Russia. Anyway thanks for looking.

That is outstanding. I like the weathering on the tank especially the streaking, the figure has been beautifully painted and I love the juxtaposition of the yellow and red & white objects on the base.....very eye-catching indeed. Nice one 👏

This is a solid hard edge scheme, very well done. Beautiful colours too and subtle weathering. The zvezda kit is amazing bang for the buck. Love it,

Cheers,
