hello guys !
The T54 and T55 tanks were used a lot by arabic countries, and they sported nice amo, were quite beat-up... a modeler's dream !
So, do you know exactly what types were used by Syria and Egypt ? Were their tanks built in the USSR or in Czekoslovakia ?
Did they have the standard soviet back deck, or a different one ?
Were they mainly using T54s or T55s ?
blast-models now has a new update set for the tamiya T55 that should bring me everything needed for the conversion... but I'm not sure of what I'd have tu use !
OK, so that's a lot of questions !
