Khurasan T-90 size comparison to Team Yankee T-72

I went ahead and bought a T-90 and a T-64B from Khurasan miniatures, because they are cool and it would be fun to use them. I received them both yesterday and I got to work assembling the T-90 last night. It's a really nice model, not much in the way of flash and it has very crisp detailing, which I guess is a feature of Khurasan, because the mid-tech evil infantry I ordered from them cleaned up fast with next to no mold lines or anything to complain about...

And of course, the reason why I've concocted Megaslava as an imagi-nation is so I can do some light kitbashes to these thanks to give them a futuristic vibe... Because it's fun and I want to. The cool thing, for me anyway, is the variety of tanks that the Soviets built since the T-55 that, while different in a lot of ways, managed to maintain a very similar aesthetic. What I would really like to do is field every single tank that the US
