T-90 Russian Battle Tank – Revell 03190

The T-90 is currently the most modern Russian Battle Tank. Developed on the basis of the T-72, it has been in production since 1992. The typical low silhouette of Russian tanks reduces the size of the target area. Due to the fully stabilized 125 mm smooth-bore gun, the T-90 can successfully engage enemy combat vehicles at up to 1,000 meters range. The gun can also fire laser-guided missiles.

The T-90 appears in the standard version with a cast turret. The kit also provides the opportunity to configure both the T-90K (Command Tank) and T-90S (Export version, India amongst others) using the additional parts included.
