If Tasca/Asuka took the Sherman thing to perfection, then it seems MiniArt is going to have the T-55 nailed.

I sure hope you're right Bill, it looks like they have the hubs right, I hope the side ribs on the wheels are as subtle as Miniart has shown they are capable of, and hopefully they will continue their practice of releasing wheel sets separately. I think they will sell very well if they do.

I asked them about this and they confirmed they are releasing the roadwheels separately.

At last, we are getting a sweet T-55 for our Mid East wars.
