Closely following your WIP, Martin. Keep 'em flying! <arr arr>

I've got two of these tootsies in my stash, T-90 and T-90A. More precisely, that part of my stash that is currently carefully stowed away along with furniture and white goods in a 40ft container waiting to be shipped to NZ. Can't wait to resume bench operations...

Best of luck with your move comrade, hopefully everything is going according to your plans as well as the new 5 year plan. Honestly I am blown away by the quality and complexity of this kit. Unimaginable occurrence 15 years ago.

Nice! Didn't know that the IR lights were jammers. Figured they were for night fighting. Does give it a distinctive appearance.

Definitely very good looking layout     And this kit also provides LED illumination of these lanterns .

Once again, check out the thermal sleeves all smashed up by elements

And here you can see the discolouration caused by replacement of the damaged segments.

Turret received some love as well. It is slightly more tedious than I would expect from armour kit, but at the end, she's gonna look so pretty

Thank You guys for stopping by.

 

I had few minutes to play last night, so I was trying to resurrect the barrel by drilling out bore, filling the yuckies and sanding, scribing etc. I think it is going to OK.

Beautiful work Jeroen, It's a shame, that you had to deal with such a setback due the Trumpeter's mistake.

They say, this winter should not be as bad as the one last year, yet it was record breaking winter. :)........ there is always room for improvement right ?
