Cope...............the key word.
I have not coped very well with the loss of my companion of 15 years, and the Russian Military has not coped very well with contemporary tactics & advances in weaponry, namely ATGM's despite the advent of "The Cope Cage"
Rather than a specific vehicle , Im going to do a plausible vehicle that would be in service yesterday or last month, or tomorrow, that reflects the overall look and feeling of the T90's in service in the current action in Ukraine.
Now.................lets get this bit sorted
Its a model tank, not a position of support or political statement ok
so lets not get bent out of shape over the subject material. 
This is my first ever MBT and its the first H/L tank I have ever needed to read the instructions on carefully !
A V7 full option with metal tracks, steel gearboxes, metal roadwheels, idlers and drive sprockets.
oh , and a 360 degree turret rotation already in it.
Plus, an huge amount of sprue parts to go on it.
Based on comments I have found during research for this, they all advise painting the final green over the tank before fitting the accessories.
Then once they are all on, do the final primer & paint over the added bits.
So thats the way I will approach this.
As its a V7 version, I might try to get it on a 6.1s instead.No servo control on a V7 and no stock of a 7.1 down here yet.
I reckon it needs recoil.
