As I noted a while back with the Zvezda T-90 kit, timing, as the advertising men say, is everything. In 1989 the Ural Railway Wagon Building Factory (Uralvagonzavod) under its chief designer, Vladimir Potkin, reworked their T-72B design to both add built-in second generation reactive armor and the new "Shtora-1" active protection defense system among other modifications. They dubbed the new Article 188 tank the T-72BM (for modified, but it was also called T-72BU for "usovershenyy" or "improved") and prepared to offer it to the government for acceptance and foreign sales in 1990. But...The disastrous performance of the Iraqi army in Desert Storm in early 1991 with the total destruction of T-72s in Iraqi service by M1A1 and Challenger 2 tanks with no confirmed friendly losses turned any T-72 offered for sale into a drug on the market. While the UVZ knew their new model could survive against most foreign tanks , being a "T-72" meant nobody wanted it. Faced with this dilemma, and then the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991, the UVZ was not in a good position.
However, President Boris Yeltsin solved the problem when the tank was accepted for service in October 1992 as the "T-90 - the First Russian Main Battle Tank" as it was announced to the world. Dubbed the T-90 Model 1992, the new tank was now offered for sale as a new vehicle (which it was not).
The new variant was a big improvement over the T-72 series, and also was going to be offered for foreign sales on a nearly equivalent model to the Russian one – the T-90S. Previously the Soviets had marketed downgraded versions (derisively referred to as "monkey models" as they were so simple monkeys could operate them) but with the failures of the T-72M and T-72M1 variants in Iraq they had little choice. The Indians were their first major customer and bought 300 of the new tanks, followed by at least 300 more later. The Russian Army was not as quick to buy them for a myriad of reasons, and surprisingly has only purchased around 700-800 of them over 20 years of the tank's production run.
The T-90 has been produced in four basic models. The first two were the T-90 Model 1992 and its equivalent foreign sales version, the T-90S. But in 1999 UVZ introduced a new all-welded turret to replace the B model's cast/welded turret with a state-of-the-art one that is easier to upgrade. The new tank was dubbed the T-90A Model 1999 and the equivalent export variant is the T-90SA. Over the years the tank has been continually upgraded as well, and the engine has gone from a V-84M of 840 HP to first the V-84MS and then the 1000 HP V-92S2. The "S" on the latter two engines means "silfon" or a tube that draws fresh air into the exhaust to suppress the tank's infrared heat signature, which is shown by a completely new exhaust port on the left side of the tank. Also "Shtora" which originally included two IR searchlight/missile suppression jammers on the front of the turret has replaced them with more reactive armor boxes. Most visible to most people was the replacement of the RMSh single-pin "dead" tracks with the new UMSh twin-pin "live" tracks (called the "Universal" track as it will be the only large tracks in use when all tanks and tank-based AFVs are upgraded).
The Zvezda kit has now been joined by another kit of the same variant, the T-90A Model 1999, by Meng Models. This kit is interesting in that it was designed with the cooperation of Aleksey Khlopotov, a Russian armor historian and writer. While Aleksey is a modeler and analyst of Russian armor, what he rarely notes is that he once worked for the Nizhniy Tagil Technical Institute for Metallurgical Research (NTIMI) which was a research arm of the UVZ tank plant. As they say in the underworld, consider Aleksey "connected". I do not know how long he had been working on this project, but I do know he produced a rather critical assessment of the Zvezda kit when it was released and panned it for a number of errors; for the moment let us note that the errors were not something 99.99% of Western modelers would ever have caught.
So how is this kit? In one word, stunning. The amount of detail that Meng has given this kit is truly incredible. It provides the Russian armor modeler with a kit of similar detail level to the DML Tiger I and Panzer III/Sturm III kits with separate torsion bars and detailed shock absorbers among other nice touches. It also provides a complete V-92S2 1000 HP diesel engine complete with the new exhaust nozzle with thermal shrouding and also the curious "Sil'fon" device: this draws cold air from the air cleaner to suppress the heat signature of the tank.
