Martinnfb,

I hope this link will work for you. 
It should take you to a Russian site with plenty of T-90 builds and so forth.

Good luck with your build.

After small break I reopened the box and realized that I am short on track links, 96 per side doesn’t cut it. So back to the box and waiting for trump’s t-72 links.

Bad news, on my kit there were enough. My manual says you need 81 links per side for the T-90A, could there be such a difference?

In fact, I have maybe 20links left, if yours are the same type, but I think they get it wrong in your manual.

Cheers Rob

There are two different types of tracks. Double pin and single pin that are often used on T-72s, retrofitted to T-62/55 series as well. Single pin are slightly narrower hence the higher number, yet 96 as per instructions is not enough. And I have no patience with the silly assembly. Connecting Pins simply don't hold in place, I had to glue them together, pure annoyance

[Martinnfb]

Trumpeter’s links are pure magic. Thank you

After a quick rusty wash the tracks went on. Me likey

Good to see you back on this one. Mine got - err - finished this winter. Lets say 95% finished, as there is no weathering, which will be applied, when I can bring myself to do the snow sodden mud dio, I have planned for the fierce looking beast.

Cheers Rob

Looking good Martin, these are two genres yet to be explored, modern AFV and anything Russian. Albeit I have a JS2 and that’s that’s it............
