Meng T-90A?
Posted by Konigwolf13 on Monday, September 16, 2013 11:57 AM

I hope to have one of these beasts arriving in the next day or two, I know its a very recent kit but does anybody know of a build log for it yet? Had a quick flick through the instructions for it (found them online) and there some areas I'd really like to see how other people tackled.

 

Also since its looks like such a beast I'm really considering a diorama for it, just finding some trouble getting inspiration for it (when a good portion of the pics are staged flying tanks or armour parade/training that's what's set into my mental image of it). Any suggestion would be welcome.

Hi Andrew,

The kit has its ups and downs but...wow!

I am like 35% into it, very happy.

I have not found a MENG complete build log quite yet but here is a starter.

www.track-link.com/.../17295

Also for reference you need to get panzer35.ru/.../45-8059-1 in your list.

This is about the Zvezda but there is so much in there, just hold your breath and dig in,

I use Google translate to get around the most obvious problem.

You are in for a treat :)

Very Best Regards

Johan

My thanks for the links, Checking them out now. Cheers.

Thinking about setting it the model in a World War Z style diorama, fits my desire perfect. I like the paint scheme and lines of the T-90 so I would prefer a relative clean vehicle but also want to take advantage of the independent suspension on the kit, so park it on top of a couple of zombie bodies?

The Meng is probably a more complicated but detailed build,while the the Trumpeter is probably a less complicated build,but not as well deatailed.Depends on your preferences,but I have heard good things about both.
