Hi and greetings from Norway!

[Herr Dr. Professor]

"yellow...ERA on the turret roof...yellow band on the fume evacuator and other similar yellow I.D. marks": Thank you! I was especially curious about the fume extractor color.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

I dimly recall from years ago a discussion on the late Hobby Havoc a discussion of a HengLong tank that offered "better sex." Bix, do any of you remember that one? I wouldn't be surprised if I have that hilarious "instruction" sheet in some tank box.

I am rather ignorant about tanks after WWII. Your "T-90 tank painted in Ukrainian colours" seems to me to be in the Russian base color, but there must be a difference. Can you point out the differences or lead me to a source from which I could learn?

We have seen and will probably see a lot of tanks painted in the Russian base colors being used by the Ukrainians seeing how many are being captured on the battlefield. My specific tank is based on a recently captured T-90A being put to good use by the Ukrainian military. My specific tank is far from being accurate though because it is not the T-90A variant but the T-90 1992 variant with a different turret.
I will try to attach a couple of photos of the original tank mine is based on. Regarding color schemes I can recommend the War in Ukraine series of books by Helion & Company. https://www.helion.co.uk/conflicts/russ ... 2b5557a2c3

Hei, og velkommen!
Er ikke mange som holder på med denne hobbyen i Norge.

Hei og takk for det! Du har jo rett i det, er jo helst fly og helikopter det går i for de som driver med militært RC i kongeriket Norge

Hullo and welcome from the West Coast of Scotland. One model on my list is a T90.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Thank you for the book reference and URL! A retired prof. accustomed to reading, I can be a bit bookish. But now I read books about AFVs and etc., many of which are as scholarly as or more scholarly than the stuff I used to read.
