The electrical duct on the top hull behind the headlights is on my list of things to do, in fact my list of things to do seems to be getting longer instead of shorter

This picture is perfect for what I need, thx Spider

With regards to you starting another T-55, I think its called having the T-55 bug, once you got it, you cant cure it

I love T-55's because of the history, when you consider that the T-54 was on the drawing boards at the end of WW2, and hit production in 1946 (i think), and then consider that the T-55 is still around today, thats one hell of a history for a tank.

Plus it looks good

As you can see Main radiator is under the main grilles. Between main radiator and grilles there are engine shutters (Which can be opened or closed. It depends on the external weather conditions. For exemple in case of nuclear attack they were totally closed).
it'll be invisible unless you open the grilles port (main radiator actually is attached to the port as you can see in your pic)
That's the reason why, CMK didn't make it

You can skip it in my opinion...

Thx for the great pictures

CMK do supply the shutters, but the problem is they simply copied the Tamiya shutters and are therefore showing in the open posistion,

So I might as well just keep the Tamiya shutters -

Because I am not fitting the armored covers that go over the top of the middle engine deck, its possible to see through into the engine bay, and with open shutters you can see through to the Oil cooler and the Rad.

So, my options are - either close the shutters (fairly easy, simply scratchbuild some closed shutters) or put the Rad in

Now, considering that one of the aims of this build is to create "depth" by allowing views into the model interior, I think shutting the Shutters is not a good option.

On the plus side, I have found an old Verlinden T-62 Rad, I can sort of make it fit if I want, cut n shut job.

Not decided yet, I quite fancy making a new Rad, lol
