vppelt68 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I must be mad to sign in but I've been ran over by a T-55, I've crawled under a T-55 and I've ridden a T-55 as a tankdesantnik, holding tight the rails around the turret so I'm in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaCee26 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I must be mad to sign in but I've been ran over by a T-55, I've crawled under a T-55 and I've ridden a T-55 as a tankdesantnik, holding tight the rails around the turret so I'm in! No need to be skeptic about your madness! What would happen to me if someone proposes a ZU-23-2 a.k.a. Sergei GB? Prosit! AaCee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 OK.....I'm in, it is the world's most produced AFV after all. I've got an ACE 1/72 Type 59 (I presume Chinese clones count) in the stash with sufficient aftermarket to replace about half of it, but TBH I'm still terrified of it. Among the minor issues that the instructions ask you to solve is repositioning almost all of the running gear by several mm! Somehow I think the new Revell 1/72 kit is a more probable candidate for a completed build.....But what I would really like to build is an Afghan war era T-55M in 1/48.

vppelt68 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 What... 5 members so far? I think this is a perfect environment for me to build a platoon of PSC 15mm T-55:s 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Missed this the first time around. I haven't got one in the stash but I'll purchase one if this STGB gets the go-ahead. Please sign me up. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Comrades! There's an alarming increase in activity around the capitalists' contemporary main battle tank (Patton) and its variants. We must stand together and raise enough ranks to counter their aggressive and imperialist plots. Otherwise I'll have YOU all shot! (Writing this commissar-text was surprisingly difficult, but enjoyable...) V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Does this GB include the earlier T-54 and the later T-62, or is it purely T-55 based? John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Oh what the heck ... i guess i need to build a Soviet Tank at some point ! Count me in too maybe something from the Middle east. Hey does anyone know if the Syrians used or are using these ? Or something from the Arab/Israeli wars ?

modelling minion Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Oh go on then, stick my name down. I have just signed up for the "opposing" Patton STGB and as this is my other emblematic Cold War tank it would be rude not to build one. I also think that @Bullbasket is right in that the T-54 at least should be included. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I am in as well. Just need to score a kit jet. I have a show this weekend, so I will look around to score one. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Syrian's certainly did use the T-55, and I think they put in an occasional appearance on the news still, and you can get decals for them from the 6 Day War and Yom Kippur from Star Decals, they also do sets covering Egyptian ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) If you ask me about my prefered aircraft, I'll name a dozen without being capable to sort it out. But ask me about my favourite tank, no hesitation, that will be the iconic T-54/55. Remember The Beast Of War in 1988? A few month after seeing it, I was in Saumur, on my way to become a tank commander. So please, count me in!

Plasto Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 No no reason I just didn’t scroll up that far when I wrote the list I’ve added you in now. Its not my list per se hopefully Shermaniac pops up at some point and resumes administration duties.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
