About the T-55A
T-55 production began in 1958, as tensions between western countries and the Soviet Union grew. It was easy to produce and featured an oblique front hull wall, a compact hull and a semi-spherical turret to limit vulnerability. The T-55 was also well armed with a 100mm main gun. In the early 60's, the T-55A with anti-radiation internal liner and anti-radiation cover on the tank commander cupola was developed. T-55 and T-55A were also license built by Czechoslovakia and Poland and some received various improved equipment resulting in many sub-types. T-55 production continued until the late 70's and equipped the armies of over 40 countries. It was used in various wars such as the Middle-East Wars and the Gulf War.

Hannah E. ★★★★★

The tow cables and fuel drums on the rear deck are molded separately, which saved me a ton of cleanup time. Fit on the upper and lower hull was tight enough that I barely needed filler. Best 1/35 kit I've built this year.

Ava ★★★★★

The road wheels and suspension arms went together without any flash, which is rare for a kit this size. At 259mm long it takes up decent shelf space but the detail makes it worth it.

Isabella ★★★★★

The T-55A's cast turret texture comes molded nicely, so a bit of drybrushing really makes it pop. At 259 mm long it has real shelf presence next to my other armor builds. Tracks went together easier than I expected for this scale.
