Hi guys,
This is my latest model, the 1/35 Trumpeter Tiran 5 with BTU-55 salvaged from other Trumpeter Finish T-55 with BTU 55.
This Trumpeter kit is cheap about price and quality but not so bad (cost me around 10$). The fit is not good but with some putty and sand paper, it'll be good. Vinyl track is the worst, It's broken 2 times and I have to sew it with thread. I've scratched some detail like fuel pipes... Thanks for the informations of the guys from IDFmodelling.
Painted mainly with Tamiya enamel paints.




























Thanks for reading.

Good combo, never thought of that.
Have the same old BTU from same source so maybe inspiration for me.
Did they actually use it, not that this would ever stop me.
Well done for perseverance on tracks

Thank for your compliment.

Dear Scott Dutton, sometimes ago I found a real picture of Tiran 5 with a dozer like this BTU-55, now I can't, but there're many Tiran 5 model with BTU-55 dozer you can find on the net.
