Is there any way I can achieve this? I'm a huge fan of the 54/55, and think a 54-1 would look good next to my 54-2. Thanks for any help.

Hi Seth;
I am not quite sure what you refer too as T-54-1
Just about the only early T-54 kit that I know about is the Superb Legend kit. If you are thinking of a T-54 earlier than not then I have not seen it.

CHEERS; MIKE.

He's referring to this version.





Seth I don't think I've ever seen one in 1/35th, or any other scale for that matter.

Seth is referring to the T-54 model 1946 aka T-54-1



Right now the only way to build this version is from scratch. You might be able to start off with the legend T-54-2 and reshape the sides of the turret. But the real challenge is going to be the mantle, TC hatch, Driver's hatch, Drive sprocket, Idler, and not to mention the sponson MG's mounted on the fenders. These all have different shapes from the standard T-54's.

Dang, thanks anyways for the info. Really wish there were more conversions for the various 54/55s. There's some many interesting versions.

Sucks there is not more dealing the T-54/55 series since it's one of the most widely used tanks around the world.

Interesting. It's moments like this when I wish I knew how to make my own molds and what not.
