Hello guys.Here is my latest finished model kit.The well known Trumpeter T-55A that I converted into a partially modernized T-55AM.I scratchbuilted most of the parts needed to do this upgrade.The only thing I used are some skif grenade launchers and tamiya DSHKM ammo boxes.This model represents one of the tanks purchased by the Macedonian Army from Ukraine back in 2001.The model represents one of the tanks used in the Skopje city(my hometown) front during the years 2001 and 2002.They had no markings nor isnignias.THe paints used are revell enamels.Weathering was done with pigments and oil colors.

Very nice one! I especially like the very realistic weathering on the running gear and the side skirts. Superb result.

For being from the old horrible Trumpeter kit,it looks great.From the sides to those ammo boxes Macedonian T-55's of that time,I love it.
