![]() ![]() The engine deck can be posed in the open position to reveal the engine, although the radiator, oil cooler, transmission, and fan are absent from the engine compartment. All hatches can be built in either the open or closed position. The V-92S2 is a nice little kit in its own right and consists of almost 40 parts to include photo-etched covers. The kit features a rotatable commander’s cupola, movable torsion bar suspension and a complete V-92S2 1000 HP diesel engine. ![]() Markings and turret numbers are provided on a crisply printed Cartograf decal sheet. Options include the 27th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of Moscow Military District in tricolor camouflage (as seen during the Russia Victory Day Parade in 2008, 2009, or 2010), the 19th Motorized Rifle Brigade of North Caucasus Military District in tricolor camouflage, and the 27th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of Moscow Military District in a Russian green monochromatic scheme (as seen during the Russia Victory Day Parade in 2011 or 2012). Also included is a 4-page pullout with full color depictions of several T-90As.

There are 10 regular sprues, 1 sprue with clear parts, 16 sprues for the tracks, upper and lower hull pieces, turret piece, gun mantlet, 2 crew helmets, small photo etched sheets, 1 photo etched mask for painting the tires, a decal sheet, and a piece of rope.Ī nicely printed, 23-page instruction booklet is provided with history and information in English, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese. As suggested by the parts count, there is a tremendous amount of detail provided, but surprisingly with very little use of photo etched metal (only 9 parts). The kit comes in a large and sturdy box (15 in x 9.5 in x 3.5 in) that is packed with parts – 1,498 to be exact, of which 980 parts comprise the tracks alone. It entered service in 2005, replacing the aging T-72s and T-80s and forming the backbone of current Russian ground forces. Although a development of the T-72, the tank consists of a 125mm 2A46M-5 smoothbore gun, a pair of auxiliary machine guns and Russia’s Shtora-1 combined electro-optical countermeasures suite to protect the tank against laser-guided weapons. The T-90A Main Battle Tank is currently the most modern tank in service with Russian ground forces. ![]()
