Very clean build Terry. Nice to see something that isn't missing half its paint while the other half is obscured by mud.

Is this just the Tamiya kit with some PE?

Thanks! Yes this is the Tamiya kit with some PE, wire, lead foil, and a metal barrel. I was trying to do a 50's T-55 and I figured they would be pretty well maintained.

Terrific build and weather job !!
I especially like the attention to the fuel lines
plumbed on the fender tanks. Where did you get those?
My fuel lines neve look that convincing.

Thanks for sharing.
