Hi I have an early version T55 by trumpeter. This kit does not have a turret cupola mounted MG as these were upgraded in 72. It is possible to buy a DSHK after market kit in UK ?? Cheers Amdy

Try looking for Shanghai DRAGON set # 6809 - Chinese Volunteer DShK Team. It has both the tripod ground mount and the parts for vehicle mount. Hope this helps . Jim

Sorry, can't tell you where to buy a DShK, but AFAIK, all Trumpeter T-54/55 comes with (albeit bad) two DShK . The only aftermarket DShK I know are from TANK. IMO, Trumpeter T-54/55 series don't deserve such aftermarket. Best regards.

Fruil makes a really nice one - its white metal. Also, I'm sure someone has an extra MG for you from the Excellent Tamiya T55A.
