Hello gents

After many delays and postpones finally I found time to finish my T-54 engine deck for Mod.1949. Further details you’ll found at:
https://www.shapeways.com/product/QMQJPCLJ3/t-54-mod-1949-engine-deck-and-update-parts-for-tam?li=user-profile&optionId=42237970
The pics show the parts put togehter without glue. Please note that the mesh is a photo etched part from Eduard and not included in the set.
Also I did the early idler wheel for the T-54 (Thanks Erik “DerGeist” for suggestion). This part is already available for some time. Many where sold and I got a lot of positive feedback about (so proud ).
Combine my parts with any other conversion set and you’ll get an early T-54 Mod.1949 or 1951.

Comments welcome

In Kuwait I saw some T 62's with a back deck like this. Will it fit a T 62?
