I was looking for an challenger for the Leopard 2. I ve found the new HL chinese Type 98. Of course it's easy to make an evolution of the Type 98 to a Type 99 but It wasn't enought for me. So as the chassis is similar I've start to build a T-90 Russian tank equiped with the Shtora system.

As you can see you have a lot of place inside:

First work is to remove the smoke unit (louder than the engine sound) also it's good when the tank isn't moving but compare to the original model, you don't have the black smoke each time that you're moving it. For the Shtora system I am using the bb firing command.

I removed the front parts to place the front reactive armor:

Also first test with the side armor plates:

Next to come, the "red eyes" of the Shtora and the reactive armor

As a confirmed Tiger man it is nice to see something different. I'll watch this thread with great interest.

Distinctions between russian ?-72 and type 99....
It is possible to convert from 99 ?? T-90, but It is labor-consuming & very difficult... :crazy:
