Hi all, today I will show you a progress of my T55
A friend sent me this old T55 as a gift, I want to rebuild it (may be add some detail) and repaint it to Iraqis Army, maybe this T55 is no correct to Iraqis Army version but I have no more from kit to correct him...
Here is what I received
And the early pix in the rebuild progress....

It's rare, but some Iraqui exemplars seams to have the anti-radiation cover on the tank commander's cupola, so your model could be right
Here another pic.
Regarding the odd writing on the railway track look there

Looking great so far. I did an Iraqi 55 a couple of years ago after seeing marcus nicols in TMMI;

Not as detailed a build as yours though! Good luck and look forward to seeing more progress.
