Fortunately even with a solid color, the tank's so big it's not difficult to really make it pop, using the tried and true drybrushing and wash techniques, along with dark and white undercoats before the main green is applied. But the camo job from the HL factory is really pretty authentic and not too much wrong with it actually.Įven so I decided to go for a solid green, which of course presents challenges of its own. There is not much variation in Russian armor camouflage when they even bother to apply it at all. The tank then gets camo scheme used by other tanks in the area, whether green over tan or the other way round (sometimes with black edge as well, sometimes not). Those going to the deserts in the south get a tan/light yellow paint described as 'khaki'. T90's going to the north and other forest areas just get a solid coat of good old Soviet armor green. The paint job on their tanks depends on the area where the tank will be deployed. But the Russians stopped doing camo from the factory as of 2013. The T90 comes with a pretty much authentic camo scheme right out of the box. So I waited til I saw someone's used T90 that they just didn't want anymore (It cost me $135 shipped) and got it. and the Hooben T55 & T72 was far more expensive then I thought was worth it. Then I thought about it for a year, because what I really wanted was a T55 or at least a T72. I thought I was done with the hobby actually until HL came out with the T90. I only kept the Panther G from my collection.

After moving last year a lot of my tanks had to go as there was no room for them anymore.
