The wading rail turned out very nice indeed, and the paint job looks awesome, I like the heavy weathering and dirt on the lower hull.

With all the new T-55 kits around, it's tempting to build one.

Well the Tamiya kit is still very good, long in the tooth, but good, the more I see of the new Takom kits, the less I like them to be honest, but the new Miniart with full interior is still keeping me interested in the good old T54/55
