T-90

The aber barrel, details being assembled. The barrel brackets and clamps are super tiny and require a good set of tweezers. I use the black CA IC-2000 glue for this step. This product is like black tar mixed with crazy glue and really adheres to metal/plastic better and faster and can be seen before you paint unlike clear CA glue. This is a really good aftermaket barrel. It includes metal sleeve inserts for the Meng, Trumpeter, Zvezda, and Tamiya kits. 

Initial building before painting overall russian green, I will then start on the other 2 camo colors. I am not a fan of brush painting everything after a model is fully built. When did this trend start to paint armor models after they are fully built, including hard to get at details? That is just nuts to me and more of a pain to paint in between narrow angles and leaving areas a person cannot see, unpainted (seems to be common these days on youtube) is also not my style. My mother always said to paint as much as you can before it goes on the model last which is advice I carried forward. (like cables and machine guns) I like models fully painted as they would be in real life. 

Working on the turret. 

Time for the first coat of paint.... 

Almost done, some more weathering to do and a few details for the machine gun and lights,as well as decals. 

Decals are drying, will need to seal it up with matte soon.
