Album link. Recently completed this Trumpeter 1/35th T-90 MBT. I’d never constructed a tank before and never applied a heavy wash like this either. I’d made aircraft previously but I still felt like this kit was a big learning experience for me. I think the wash / weathering could do with an improvement but I’m still relatively happy with it for a first attempt.
It was a great kit though. The detail was great and the fit of everything was superb. It also includes individual track links, 3x sheets of PE and external fuel lines which can be tricky to get into place. Of the different variants that Trumpeter produces of this tank, this is the Cast Turret version.
Unfortunately for me, when I started I was using a brush to paint, and then it got put on hold, and I started using an airbrush. Now I don't quite know what to do with my half finished model. :) I might start over, just to get that new-kit feeling. :D I remember thinking, wow, so much photo etch. :)
remove paint and paint it again using the airbrush.
Done it on an old model which my brother used whatever color he wanted, and the results were very good.
I striped the paint using alcoholic lotion 97% after putting the model inside a plastic container. Very easy and I finished in an hour max.

Brush painted with Humbrol Enamels.
Is that the one with tiny circular PE patches for all the small circular indentations on the turret?
That very one yes.
Haha ok. I have that one.
