Cheers Kingsman - green plastic still yep. I'm generally a fan of drab Russian green but I'd seen Andy Moore's amazing AU finish a while back and was inspired. Genuinely not clued up on the myriad of flavours of T-55 (A or otherwise!) but I've always liked Cold War armour and I got it second-hand from Hattons for a good price. I had previously considered buying the old and apparently semi-fictional Tamiya T-62 to scratch the Cold War itch which shows that accuracy wasn't the main driver for me! 🙂 Thanks for the info though - I did go down a bit of a rabbit hole when building my 1:16 T-34 and it seems the T-55 and variants are no less bewildering!

Big Miniart fan but I've got their frankly alarming Werkstatkraftwagen and Caterpillar D7 in the stash so I'm good for fiendishly complicated interior style kits for now. There may well be a Miniart T55 in my future though - just not soon. If I survive the two Miniart kits mentioned then I'll be looking for a nice simple build.
