For the moment I am calling this one done. I am pretty happy with it so far and I want to put some chipping on it but for some reason I am not feeling confident and don't want to screw it up. The weather is kept light but the "dusty" look is more obvious in the flesh. I also want to add some scrapes but have not been happy with attempts in the past so that will wait too.

Comments and criticism always welcome.

Really, really nice job. Definately going to use this as reference.

Fantastic work.. Absolutely stunning. Not sure what yellow and blue is going to do in the ways of camo though

Hey Marc,
between you and Ciro I am in T-55 heaven!
Nice clean build and that intricate camo really sets it off.

Good Stuff man thanks for posting the pics!

Steve

Cheers
Seb

Matt

excellent job Marc, this is certainly a winning class model! Just lovely!

That is a nice build you have there.

So what about this blue color?

Strange Camo.

Hi Marc,

Very nice indeed! Handy tip with the tow cable -- it looks very good

Cheers,
Ian

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I really do appreciate them.

The Bison sheet says this is a ex-Taliban vehicle seen in a scrap yard. I have emailed Johan at Bison to see if he can point me tho the reference photo. I am curious myself.

Jon, ever since I saw this scheme I have been wondering where it would be effective. So far the only place I can think of is Haight-Ashbury in 60's

What a beautiful tank.

Hi
Very nice and colourful.

Yeah,nice 55....the first thing that I've thought about this scheme was....WOW....when I saw it for the first time on the net,,,your is a good rendition of the thing,good job!
I had some doubts about this and my actual two tonal camo....I opted for the second camo that was too simple for my skill....but in a near future I'll try to follow your steps.

Regards
Ciro

JB, James, Ciro... thanks guys.

Ciro, don't you worry about the camo you picked for your 55. I have been following the build and it is just outstanding. You could paint that thing pink and it would look good.

Here is a link to one of the photos Bison used for the scheme.
