I must say that I have a real liking for the 54/55/62 family, especially when it came under new ownership! John. I have to agree with you John, i just love the shape of this tank, it's like the Su-33 jet it just oozes class. thanks for your comments and looking in all the best Ed Edited November 1, 2020 by edjbartos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edjbartos Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi there folks, finally I have completed the Miniart T-55A, it’s taken a while but I’m quite pleased with the result, some pictures here showing views around the model: The whole intention of this build was to show off as much as possible of the interior, otherwise what’s the point. To that end regarding the engine I have done it so that I can have the hatches open or with a little mod I can have the engine cover opened up to give a better view of the engine... A little mod allows the turret top to be taken off to expose the inside, and you can see through the bottom end of the turret to view inside also... Views showing the inside of the tank body: For the search lights on the turret I used the end of some old 35mm colour negative film and used the plastic part as a template, the colour looks very similar to the real thing. Some final views of the tank taken at a lower angle:.. That’s it, finally done, it’s taken some time but I have thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so that I’ve now got a Miniart T-60 Gorky interior to build, must be mad! Once again thanks again for looking in and to all of you who have kindly made comments, really appreciated it…. All the best Ed 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Just one question Ed. If you are thinking of taking that to Telford next year, what class will you be entering it in. I'm asking as I'll avoid entering anything in it, as that has got gold medal written all over it. One of the best tank models that I have seen. Absolutely bang on.
