Wow.
I love the mods and the camouflage work on the T-90. I plan to go with a similar color scheme with the Russian unit I am building.
That Bradley is also amazing. 
Truly impressive work!

Already brilliant

Thanks guys .....  last little update for probably a couple of weeks as I have to clear a few paying jobs off the workbench (back to WW2).

So managed to get the base paint on the BMPs and the 4 vehicles are pretty much at the shading and lining stage. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to work on these guys again the rest of the laser cut parts for the other Bradley and Abrams will have arrived .....

cheers

Amazing work
I can't believe that you are doing four different vehicles at once

Thanks Mac    I prefer advancing on a broad front strategy .....

Incredible work.  I'm not personally a fan of the hugely modified super-AFVs that are so prevalent, but your scratch work is incredible.  I'd have liked to see a crazy paint scheme on the Russian vehicles (from their defense expos, etc.) but I think the route you've gone is far more realistic.

Love the mix of green/beige on the Bradley - I was hoping it'd be a mix-mash.  Almost every vehicle you see in the states now is a mix of the two until it gets a final spray.

Gorgeous work.

 AFAIK Russia has moved away from the three colour schemes of the 1990s, eaely 2000s and reverted to the traditional solid green.

They did but they also have a crap ton of units...so who know what anyone is using.  Their parade colour is that new Russian dark green which is attractive (if not particularly effective looking).

Got the base camo on the Bradley today, I did say I was going to leave this project for a couple of weeks but I couldn't leave the Bradley at a different stage to the others.






On the Soviet camo thing, I wasn't aware that they had officially abandoned all camo, I'd be interested in the details of why etc. I thought that while their factory issue colour was the new bronze green (and the standard for all Parade vehicles) that the military districts and some units still had some latitude in which of the 4 theatre schemes (if any) were applied.

Stunning work

[Elbows]

I wouldn't be overly concerned about the paint on the Russians...I'm sure if deployed to an active combat zone the crews would do as always and grab some spray cans if needed and apply whatever camo was appropriate.  I'm quite sure there are units running around with camo'ed tanks.  If anything the T-90 is more rare than the paint!

Thanks Mac !

I wouldn't be overly concerned about the paint on the Russians..........

yeah it's just my OCD. I like my extensive files to be complete. Plus if I know the rules I can then break them intentionally ....

[Queeg]

At 3/4 mark with these guys now I think ..... lined and shaded.

Also the next lot of ERA blocks arrived so I can begin building the 2 Abrams and second Bradley.
