Yeah, those are nice color ref pictures. I'll be hangin around this thread, if you don't mind.

So far progress is pretty rapid and simple. Typical Tamiya ease of assembly, with just clean up of mold seam lines and sprue attachment points...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yes, I will be replacing the kit tracks as I usually have bad luck with the Tamiya gluable single piece tracks in the past.

Well, this is my latest project that I'm jumping into with both feet. As part of a T-54/T-55 family Group Build, I am building Tamiya's T-55A. 

 

 

This will be a mostly OOB build. But I am going to backdate the kit a little to make an early T-55 as seen here during Operation Danube, the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia to crush the "Prague Spring" in August 1968. (yes I know these are T-54s, but for color reference, these photos are outstanding)

 

 

 

Stay tuned...
