hi guys
I don't have to pass near a modelling shop for a lot of time!!! every time I passed I bought somethong! #:-)
but now I have a lot of tanks and.. no space for all..and no time..
today I bought a Ti-67 or t55 tiran israeli...it's the israeli version of the egyptian t54/55 capturated in the 1967 war...
The kit is by Trumpeter and It's look nice...

The Ti-67 ahd a 105 mm gun, Israeli or Browning MG's, various armor upgrades, and several storage boxes added to the turret to visually distinguish it from its original confioguration.
I duperdetailed ESCI's version of this in 1997 or 98. I don't know specifically about the Trumpeter kit. The end results of these conversions are quite cool looking.

Howdy Venom,

I also own the kit. And last time the issue was brought up one of the other members (sorry, don't remember who ) was kind enough to post a link to a build-up article regarding the Trumpeter TI-67 w/ 105mm gun, kit #039. The kit itself builds up into either the T-54 Tiran 4, or the T-55 Tiran 5 (TI-67). The kit, for the price, is a pretty good value IMHO. The biggest 'issue' with the kit is that it unfortunately has all the accomodations (including battery well) for motorization. The only other real weak point from the value POV, are the tracks.......they really are weak. Replace them if you can.

Hi Venom . one question, what Era Tiran do you intend to build. while I can't send you to the group reference page (Its still in the works). there are some nice walk arounds on our webhots page and the Groups Tiran build starts in January. IF you have specific questions let us know.

What's this about a Tiran Group Build? Care to elaborate Shiryon?
