This is my completed model of the latest T-90M variant of Russian armed forces. There are according to different sources just around 90 or so of these recently modernized machines at the troops disposition. Many different configurations can be seen at internet pictures: with and without add-on armor, with and without frontal dust shield, with and without cope cages of different styles and so on. I chose mine fully equipped with hard ERA blocks at the hull and soft ERA bags at the turret sides. At the back the tank also have reactive armor plates against pesky drones flying into the rear hull. My tank don´t have a cope cage but have instead installed the anti-drone jamming system “Volnorez” at the turret´s top. The “Nakidka” net, which, according to russian statements, has camouflage capabilities in the thermal imaging and radar spectrum, is still wrapped up and stowed at the rear turret bustle.
The original kit is Tiger Models T-90M model 2021 and to get the model into the newest configuration I used several upgrade sets from Miniarm (T-90M (mod. 2023) turret soft-case ERA and stowage, T-90M rear active armor set, antidrone jammer system “Volnorez”, metal case ERA model 2023 and T-90M model 2023 conversion + correction set).
The crew figures were old acquaintances from Evolution miniatures. I just added the RuAF and specific unit patches onto their anorak shoulders
The lenses at the finished model were added with SX-Art T-90M holographic film for better resemblance of real lenses
The unit patch with the white wolf head resembles the 242. mot. rifle brigade. The cyrillic inscription means translated “if not we, who then…”. I have no idea if this unit is currently still active and equipped with these brandnew vehicles but I liked it very much.
This is how the finished project looks like. It is still waiting for an acrylic encase which will come soon. It was a lot of fun for me to build this monster and I am very pleased with the outcome.
Spasiba for watching
