It's good enough for trying out new painting techniques.....

Yeah, can't beat something like that for practice and trying new techniques.

Put it together and sell it on eBay. Folks over there will buy anything. And I say that as one of those folks....

That kit was released around 1989-1990. At the time, it was the best T-55 around because it was the only one. Today, it is more of a novelty but it is still a buildable kit. I would not worry about trying to make it accurate, just have a good time with it.

It all depends -- how valuable is your modelling time and how much inaccuracy can you tolerate -- when there are great alternatives out there?  I'll tackle a mediocre/poor base kit if I'm motivated enough to see the final outcome.  

But 30 years into the hobby -- I'm not going to spend time trying to make accurate some 1970s era tank model when a 2010 new tooled and accurate version is avaiable.

It is a product of late Cold War lack of info Soviet AFV kit typical of that era. It can be built into a halfway decent looking kit with some effort to replace missing or bad details. But there are better T-55 kits out there. The worth is all up to you.
