While the Typhoon is drying right now, i decided not to waste any time and start a new project. This time i will build an early T-90 from 1992. Trumpeter released an suitable kit including paint pattern and decals for the tank that i have as the project thumbnail and want to build. Unfortunately you have to do some corrections to build the demo vehicle from 1992. I will pick out the steps from the kit instruction where you have to do the modifications.
Here the changes so far:
Step 1: Omit the parts C4, C20 and C21 for the part C35 (lower glacis plate) Fill the hole for C4.
Step 2: Dozer blade is a wrong one. You have to correct it by removing both bulges right and left or replace it whit a right one. I replaced it whit one from the spare box.
Step 6: The gap between the armor F3 and G27on the upper glacis plate is too wide. (picture 1) On the real vehicle there is almost no gap. I added 0,5mm plastic strip and sanded it to the right size. The notch in the middle of the F3 is going right to the edge of the plate. Use a sharp hobby knife to extend it.
Omit part G15 and replace E11 with E12.
Thats all so far.

Finished the build today. Here the second part of the modifications that were done:
Step 7: Omit the part C24 or the old style exhaust wont fit.
Step 8: The rear plate needs to be backdated to hold the old T-72 spare tracks. You have to close all the holes except the ones for towing hooks and barrel holder. You can use part A10 to hold the spare tracks.
I modified the barrel holder as there are no barrels on the original demonstrator tank.
Step 10: Replace the T-90 style tracks with the T-72 tracks. This part is a little bit tricky. You need the T-72 style sprocket wheels. The T-72 tracks wont fit the T-90 sprockets. You can use one from Trumpeter T-72 A/B (except the T-72 Mod 1990) kits or from Tamiya T-72 kit.
Step 11: Part C27 was used instead of C28 as there is no refueling line for the barrels.
Step 12: Fit the old style exhaust. I found one in my spare box from the previous T-72 builds and didnt need to use the one from Miniarm.
Thats all.

Thanks mate. 🙂
The lower hull is already primed and will receive an coat of green tomorrow. After that i can glue the fenders into place as they are only fixed with blue tack on the pictures. Same goes for the boxes on the turret.

Ingo, that's a superb T-90 build, construction, painting, weathering, everything! I built Trumpy's T-72B a few years ago, and I know those PE radiation cladding discs can drive you insane, so again, good job!

Thank you Jerry! 🙂 Yeah, this PE discs are really pain in the *** but after you build 3-4 of this tanks, they are no challenge anymore. 😄
