Great job Ján!

What color did you use to replicate the JNA olive green?

I didn't know that Serbians during the Balkan war employed some T-54 tanks, I thought they had only T-55s

Do you have any original pics which depict them?

Congrats indeed

Nice work... one nitpick though; you spelled Serbia wrong on the side skirts. N should be reversed. Check the link to see Serbian cyrillic alphabet: link

Looks great Jan, even with the mistake. What did you use for the extra armor? I too like to find "things" to use to scratchbuild. Very nicely done!

Excellent build. I'm going to be building a T-34/85 with rubber armor as well but I'm going to try it with plastic card. What thickness of metal did you use?

I'm with Spider, I didn't think the T-54's were around that long. I always read that the JNA hated the 54.

@JanMoravcik – Ján,

First of all welcome here to Armorama, hope your stay will be a happy one.

Good job on the T-54 with the added turret and hull side rubber armor, makeing for a very interesting looking vehicle. It appears that you’ve done a bit of color modulation here and there and it came off well?

Thanks for posting and sharing your work here, looking forward to seeing more of your work,
~ Eddy
