Excellent work!

Really impressive performation of a massively looking T55 with nice color modulation.

I really like these Soviet tanks and this model is a great assett to every gallery.

Looking forward to more models of this sort.

What a nice build- it really turned out super. It isn't a T55A though as it lacks the anti radiation armor on the hatches and the cupolas are different.

Looks very nice. Where is the scene set to be? Former Yugoslavia?

Great weathering and nice cluttered layout of the scene.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you Rick...and Thank you Jesper,I've imagined the scene in ex Yugoslavia...or an old base in Russia.
I've tried to depict a "left alone" tank in a dismissed area.

Hi Gary,thanks for your words...
No,transpallet is a very nice kit of Royal Model...search it on their website...I don't remember the code number of the kit,sorry.
I need to be honest...I also scratch build the transpallet using the kit dimension as reference.
It's a simple construction...not so difficult...I'll use my scratchbuild transpallet in another dio.

Regards
