World of tanks players have all just wet themselves – the T-90
Russian main battle tank is on the way
in 1/35th scale from model makers MENG. The Russian T-90 is capable of doing lots of amazing things
and looking pretty mean with it’s red “eyes” this has been on modellers lists
for a long time – they have some help from noted people as well so this could
be a very good thing…

After two years of well preparation, MENG 1/35 Russian T-90A
Main Battle Tank (kit No. TS-006) will be available soon. We hereby express our
sincere thanks to Mr. Alexey Khlopotov (АлексейХлопотов), our project advisor,
for providing us strong support and help during the development of
TS-006.Alexey Khlopotov (АлексейХлопотов) is an experienced research specialist
in Russian tanks.He knows the design and development of Soviet/Russian
tanks very well and has rich research experience in its structure. He is a
genuine expert on T-72 and T-90 with nearly twenty years of study. Besides, he
has engaged in book publishing and often publishes articles about Russian tank
history in various magazines. He has a blog site named “Gur Khan attacks”.

We have devoted tremendous energy and much time into the kit
of TS-006. The kit consists of 1303 parts on 26 plastic sprues (excluding PE
frets, cable and poly caps), 10 PE parts on 3 frets (one of the PE frets
carries road wheel paint mask which will offer great convenience to modellers),
moreover, in order to make the model more realistic and interesting, we provide
a TPE mantlet rain cover and two1/35 scale crew helmets.
The kit of TS-006 reproduces all the external features and
details of T-90A. The size is correct and accurate.TheV-92S2 engine can be
perfectly represented with open engine deck. Precise movable suspension system
perfectly models the real thing, Cement-free workable double-pin tracks have
optional rubber pads, With regard to painting options, the kit provides decals
for Victory Day Parade (2008-2012) in Russia and some universal unit numbers
and markings which can satisfy most modellers’ needs.
The box art we have - but not much else in the way of piccies yet..

With regards to special decals (Volgograd and Rostov-on-Don
Parade), you can get the free decal sheets when you have the following
magazines: Armour Modelling, Hobby world, Model Military International and
Super Model. These two special options are totally different from Moscow
Victory Day Parade options. Besides, the special decal sheets include two sets
of special unit markings.
In order to provide modellers with reference and detail
material that they can refer to during building this kit, we have compiled the
book T-90/T-90A Photo Album which consists of series of photographs and text. Modellers
can have a clear understanding about the operation environment of this tank
while they verify the details according to the photographs during building. The
T-90/T-90A Photo Album (Simplified Chinese Edition) will be published by China
Machine Press in June 2013 and the Japanese Edition will be published by
HOBBYJAPAN in June 2013.Intense preparation for other language editions are in
progress.
We will be building one
once it arrives to show you off – until then keep looking here and of course at
MENG’s site for more
info.
