Thank You, Mike!
I believe that MINIART had announced plans for releasing their T-54B kit earlier this year. However, this is actually the first time that I've seen a video of this kit!
I WANT!!!

I saw the T-44 videos too. Amazing stuff. Has just about everything and that makes the empty hole in the engine compartment all the more evident.
Just the engine and a huge empty.space under the grills?

Hi, Steve!
Their T-44 was released before the advent of their T-34-type Engine kit. I understand that the T-44 used a very similar Engine to the T-34's. One could throw that into the T-44 without many problems, I would think. Russo-Soviet modellers would know better than I...

I hope the kit portrays what the video does...great detail, precision parts, 'tightness' and detailed. I'll be getting one. The only problem would be is how I would portray one from over 50 countries, on 5 continents, that use(d) it (the decal stash would get good use). Leftover individual track links thrown about. Paint schemes that would make Sherman-Williams proud. AM turned metal gun tubes out the yen-yang already out there. War lord modifications to ponder for greedy reasons/purposes in other banana republics and 3rd world cesspools. Even hard core mods like the 'Hurricane' firefighter that has a Mig21 engine mounted for fighting fires is possible.
