Jadar ARMO presented two conversions for Tamya's T-55. T-55AM Volna and AT LAST!!! Polish T-55AM MERIDA!

That Polish Merida conversion makes the T-55 look like a completely different tank.

Major difference with Soviet version was a fire-control system. Gunner's sight with integrated laser rangefinder, wind sensor. And some another, like Czech type deep wading system.

With the Volna conversion comes the famous Russian wading rail!
Those conversions look great by the pictures and their price not too high with the amount of new parts included.
