Great news!
With all the commotion around the Takom T-55's I'm looking forward to your T-54B. How are the wheels and tires?

Will follow this test-build with full attention, Dmytro.
This Miniart release made me change my mind about buying Takom's kit, and it seems I was right doing so.

Quick question: are there ejector pin marks in the track links? I only ask because you have a sanding tool in one of your photos...
Looks like a nice build by the way.
Cheers

Hello
The kit looks very nice!
Could you say if the tracks are workable? It looks that they aren't.
May i asks you to measure the turret base? I'm interresting by the dimensions of the turret (width and lenght).
Thanks in advance
Stephane

Looks great!
But should not it come with spiderweb wheels, especially that this is an early version?
I am wondering if there will bee be kits without interior for those who don't need it and want to save some $$$?
Cheers,
Adam

Adam,
Yes, there will be one without interior- MiniArt already gave it a refference No-37019 if I remember correctly.
It is present in their 2017 Catalogue,

The cost saving isn't really there IMO. The difference with the T-54-1 with and without the interior is only about $5 USD, which less then 10% of the total cost of the kits.

That's not too much, but still, if I don't need the interior it is just a waste on money and plastic so happy to see there is a version without the interior. Well done!

Mr Masking SOL is a liquid mask for protecting parts before painting. I used it to protect the "glass" parts of the spotlights when painting
