Developed to replace the ubiquitous T-72 tank in the then Soviet Army, the T-90 is still based on the same platform owing to its cost-effectiveness, simplicity and automotive qualities. As Russian tank production dwindled in the years before and after the breakup of the Soviet Union, the T-90 production was at first chaotic. With the resumption of slightly more substantial orders in the early 2000s, particularly for India, the modernised T-90A version was launched equipped with a new welded turret, a new engine, most recent Kontakt-5 reactive armor and more efficient sighting systems (a high performance thermal imaging was only installed from 2016).
The model is a fantastic 3D one produced by Camel Model from China available via Hobby Easy. The level and the fineness of the details are really spectacular. Their productions (to date T-72 A, T-72B1, T-72AV, T-90 and T-90A) are definitively not cheap but really impressive.
