I want to make the engine compartment for my T-55, but I need some info about the engine compartment itself, specially the bulkheads. Everything will work: Actual pics, comercial kits, scratchbuild models, etc. I used to have pics of a scratched T-54 engine compartment (I think it is the same or at least very similar) but lost them some time ago due to a virus problem. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards.

Thank you for yor replies, better if there is the engine compartment without the engine, because someboy told me that Peruvian T-55s have a Caterpillar Diesel engine, however this is unconfirmed. I'll keep on my search. Best regards.

you might find some pics here

Already knew that site, in fact, It was me who provided the Peruvian T-55 pics, and have more in my personal collection, like this:



I already know the exterior, so I'll build the engine compartment for a change. Best regards.

I'm currently putting together a T55 engine comparment from CMK. I have some WIP images in my Blog in the Diorama section. There are some images there of the engine bay without the engine if it helps.

For example

Thanks a lot Jon, that's what I'm looking for. I also found some inspiring work in the IDF-in-scale forum. Best regards.
