I am looking to do an entire T-55 based on the new Tamiya kit. I already have the Lior Roar PE kit and, I am looking at any others out there. I have seen the Verlindin, Eduard and Caliber 35 engine kit. Are there any interior kits out yet? And if anyone has some good web links of pics I would love to check them out too. Thanks in Advance.

AFAIK there is still no interior set but one will certainly appear soon...As I am quite an impatient guy I have planned to use the basic interior parts of the Skif T-55 kit ( turret parts+driver position parts+engine parts...)with the corresponding Eduard PE set for my future Tamiya T-55 project....

Frenchy , Thats a pretty good idea. I think I will pick up one of those kits and check it out. I didnt know the skif kit came with an interior. Thanks

Here are 2 links to pictures showing the Skif kit interior : there's for sure some work to do ! but it's a good starting point ( Eduard set #35476 is really worth the money : just check the instruction sheet on their website www.eduard.cz ) I bought the kit just for the interior, I must say that most of the other parts would just fit for the trash can...
The 2 pics comes from a japanese modelling website (I think) called Tank Guy :
