randypandy831 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) looking into building a T-90. I see that trumpeter,meng,and zvezda make this tank. seeing how trumpeter/hobby boss slacks in the aircraft department, how does their armor stack up? thanks!

ChippyWho Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I've been prevaricating about a one-off venture into tracky-land for a year or so, being seduced by the low 'n' lethal looks of the T-90 and the awesome 1/72 builds knocking around the web. AFAIK, the T-90 comes in 2 flavours (cast or welded turret) and is derived from the T-72 rather than the more complex T-80. It is a subject well served in different ways by the three usual suspects you mentioned. I recommend the Amorama review archive as your next stop. HTH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smuts III Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hi I've got both the Meng T90A & Trumps cast turret T90, both are very good I'd say Meng's has the edge (only just) & the new Soviet/Russian armour/AFV's from Trumpeter are awesome Easily a match for Dragon!. if you're not worried about very small details Trumps is a good kit (even has PE bolt heads),but I'd say the Meng is the bench mark for the type.

randypandy831 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 ended up snagging trumpeter's T-90A since my LHS didn't have the meng kit in stock. this is going to be one hell of a build. has anyone used the friul tracks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 If you (still) think Hobbyboss 'slacks' on their jets then you haven't seen their A-6 family Quote Link to post Share on other sites
