Another awesome link and the thing about Trumpeter's T-90 cast turret tracks

I chanced upon Armourpro, a german armour modelling site, whilst trawling the net for information. The site has plenty of projects and beautiful pictures, always a good thing for people looking for inspiration. There are even some uncommon paper panzers like a Panzer IV with the Panther Schmalturm. I really like the beautifully rendered PAK 40/4 mounted on the venerable Steyr RSO in particular. Another site added in the links section!

Ever since the Trumpeter T-90 cast turret came out I've bumped into a few guys who's been looking at getting aftermarket replacements for the kit tracks. The thing is I've seen the kit ones and I think they're good enough, even comes with separate and hollow guide horns and a jig to make assembly easy. However I have again come across resources online where T-90s were also often seen with the older RMsh tracks used on the T-72 and late T-55 and T-62 tanks. I thought if anyone wants to replace what I would consider good kit tracks, might as well go further and take a look at these RMsh ones. They look good too!

Here's a link to armorama on the topic of them tracks which starts at page 3.

Some pictures of course

 

 

Evidently newer T-90s even the cast turret ones come with the new two pin tracks that is included in the kit, the same one that is in the Meng kit. The third picture here is the Indian Army's T-90 and it does use the newer tracks so there is no right or wrong with either choices here.


Of course it wouldn't be complete without the miniature versions of the subject!

I for one would be using the older rmsh tracks, makes the subject stand out more when sitting side by side with the T-90A.

Cheers!
