    Done with the assembly of the kit. I want it to tell a story, I am going with the setup of “A T-90A on Syria”. As you know on the ongoing (and awful) conflict on Syria, almost all sides have resorted to up-armoring their AFVs, with most of these updates being done hastily on the field. With that in mind, and using as reference photos of modifications made to multiple AFVs during the conflict, I have created my own concept of how it would look like if a Russian State of the art MBT, the T-90A, underwent the same treatment.
    I hope the improvised and rather messy character of its components may help confer the vehicle a more humane and personal feeling and help express a little bit more closely something as crude and gruesome as it is battling on a civil war.
    • I have attached an extra machinegun on a welded support, made a big spaced armor plate covering the side armor not protected by ERA, placed some slat armor protecting the back of the turret and got a few track links and logs to work as extra armor. I was extra careful that none of the this modifications hindered any of the huge amount of sensors and other systems placed around the turret, as to keep everything functional.
