Despite my natural instinct to make a T90A a weathered but basically an all-green finish, the pictures & videos can allow a lot of white sand bags, & other coloured equipment & accouterments.
Add the turret cage & there is a lot of scope to make a really interesting version thats NOT in a sand shade !

Improvised armor seen today on some Russian trucks.
What looks like construction light metal sheeting screwed to the front of the truck, obviously done by a ballistic expert wanting to protect the truck against flowers that might be thrown at them.

Thin wood logs and bushes applied to the side of the vehicle, likely against flower pots.
Update: Russians are trying to hide that it is a fuel truck.

Salvaged and Installed on the front grill of a truck is a Russian MTLB APC engine hatch, raw material that seems to be widely available in Ukraine.

No, this first one is just a normal toilet roll delivery truck in Liverpool, you can easily tell it's in Liverpool (a city in England), it doesn't have any wheels left

Such a range of options evident now!
By the time one of us finishes a model it will look like the old truck at the start of “The Beverly Hillbillies “ !!
