So does this mean now you have a painted one we can expect to see them for sale? As always fabulous stuff Jon. |

very nice! Please tell me Shtora is available separately, I'd love to add some active defenses to some modern vehicles (turn them into near-future). |

Yes indeed, that is one beautiful tank. |

Shtora is part of the turret casting. |

Fantastic paint job, is the turret a bit too far forward? It could be the angle the photo is taken, but, at the moment the rear turret edge (where the 5 is painted on the turret stowage) is just forward of the mid-line of the second to last running, whereas it should line up with the rear edge of that wheel. link |

Well, that's just a sketch of course. I can tell you having looked at dozens of such sketches in working with the designer on our upcoming T-34s, no two sketches are exactly alike. Sometimes the differences are in fact fairly substantial. Best to look at the real thing. Which is what the original designer, a Russian who had served in a T90A, did! He had access to the actual vehicles when making the design. I found that looking at photos of actual T-34s was the most reliable method of getting dimensions right. Here's another photo of the kit.

Have to agree with Milites, the turret placement looks a bit too far forward, regardless of your designers bonafides. Have a few books on the T-72/T-90, and perusing those in addition to the multitude of pics on Google, cannot find a single T-90 example with that turret placement. The gun and turret front edge seem to be just above the drivers' vision block, while the turret should be set further back. Lots of example pics here: link Hope it is just the angle, but without a side or top down pic will be hard to verify. |

Looks fine to me but of course gamers can make up their own minds.

| Sparker | 02 Jun 2013 7:26 p.m. PST |
Well I have. I want some! |

Looking good. It would be fun to paint some up as Indian tanks. |

Thanks for the preview. Let us know when they hit the store front and my order will be there. I appreciate the model being made. |

Yewwwwwwww hurry up with the BTR80 an 62s :p |

Hope youre going to do BTR-80A too, at least later? The "orginal" BTR-80 with BPPU is going to be replaced with "new" BTR-82A (since 2009) which is improved (fire controls, thermal and spall liners & improved armour plating)from BTR-80A – so if youre going to do ultramodern russian range, I would recommend that. |
has been itching for a small Soviet project!
