Academy 13418 - 1/35 Overview of the T-90A Kit

The T-90A is a significant example of current Russian armoured equipment and a popular subject in scale modelling circles. Academy's 1/35 kit aims to recreate the vehicle with careful attention to silhouette and component layout, offering an informative build for those studying modern tank architecture. It suits modellers who enjoy tackling realistic subjects with a mix of small and larger parts.

Accuracy and Assembly

The moulding captures key surfaces and fittings, with separate parts for the turret details and suspension assemblies. Accurate assembly and trimming are needed to achieve neat seams, and the kit rewards careful painting and weathering aimed at realistic finishes.

Display Potential and Study Value

When complete, the model works well as a display piece or part of a small vignette illustrating modern armoured operations. Its structural clarity also makes it useful for comparison and study of modern design elements for collectors and hobbyists.

Specifications

This kit is best suited to modellers with some experience. It contains small components and benefits from practiced assembly and painting techniques.
Remove mould lines and clean parts with a soft brush. Use fine sanding and a primer coat to ensure paint adhesion and to reveal any areas needing additional filling.
Reference images are very helpful for choosing paint schemes and weathering patterns. Study real world photos to match markings and wear accurately.
Layered washes, subtle drybrushing and selective chipping help emphasise panel lines and surface texture. Apply sparingly to avoid overdoing the effect.
Keep the finished model away from direct sunlight and dusty areas. A display case or covered shelf will preserve paintwork and delicate details.
