Miniart's T-55 kits are quite incredible and this just could be T-55 No3 in their range added to the stash.
Fabulous camo schemes with this boxing!

The camo possibilities -which are uniformly gawdawful-ugly- are the reasons I'd pick up one of these terrific T-55 kits. I've seen pictures of these that imply that not only were the soldiers painting them colour-blind, but that they were rather short on paints to choose from. Or the means to apply the paint beyond mops and spray cans. They rolled around the countryside looking like they'd been tagged by graffiti-artists of limited skills. Really bizarre colour schemes were apparently the order of the day. Cool. I really like it.

I am pleased to see this announcement, and I would like to see T 72 and its versions from Miniart.

MINIART, your T-55 kits are stunning, but your logic is doubtable. With you previous kit you had the chance to combine all Polish produced T-55A variants from Yugoslav wars within one kit. It was only a matter of decals and probably small details for each unit. Iīd like to suggest something to you. Letīs make some new T-55īs. One kit for the Yugoslav Amry tank brigade in Varazdin/Croatia, one for the Mostar motorized brigade, one for the brigade in Novi Sad, one for the motorized brigade in Prokuplje and so on, and so on. Simply ridiculous if you are producing numerous identic T-55 tanks, only changing decals and box-art.
