Davy,
I am also painting my T-55 using Tamiya Model Mag as color reference. I'm about done with mine but that is about what it looked like after the base coat. If you put on a clear coat and weather it, the color will darken some.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Davy!
It looks like you did some mistake in "hardware" -- you used the driver's and commander's hatches with anti-radiation addons while the both cuppolas (commander's and loader's) as well as loader's hatch doesn't have it. Did you have any pictures of such a configuration?
Regards.

Lis,
your right bit of a cock up on my part but hey who cares I'm having
fun building it and thats the main thing but then again anything's possiable
with t-55's who's to say that parts werent interchanged from scrap tanks ect
in the british forces at the moment they are ripping parts off spare tanks
to keep others on the road due to a lack of spare parts
