Miniart should release the wheels as a separate item, so anyone who doesn't like the Takom wheels (or Tamiya for that matter), now has a decent solution.Personally, I'm just waiting for Quickwheel to release a mask for the Miniart wheels, and I'll be off and running!

I have both of the kits you mention and it kind of depends on what you want to do with them. On the Miniart kit there is an insane amount of parts and it would be great if you wanted to do a damaged tank because of the full interior. Most of the interior can not be seen however.

Miniart sell all their T-54/T-55 kits also in "no interior" versions, so your arguments are a bit flawed.

Miniart kits are not only much more detailed, but also more accurate than the Takom ones (with the exception for main gun barrel in T-54 kit, but it was finally corrected in T-55). Takom is OK, but not great in my opinion. They however offer some variants that are not available from MiniArt.

So in my opinion:
If you are scared by the large number of detail parts (even in the no interior version) of the MiniArt kit, then get Takom kit.
If you want some variants that is only available from Takom, get Takom kit.
But if you are not afraid of multitude of parts and the version you want to build is offered by MiniArt, then definitely get MiniArt.

I see no flaw but respect "your opinion". I will no longer give my opinion on this site. It never ceases to amaze me how often I am attacked here for giving it.

Hello all
Is there someone who owns Miniart T55A and could take measurement for me please?

I'm looking for the dimensions of the turret base (lengh and width) if some of you could help...

Miniart kit seems to have superior wheels and perhaps tracks and the interrior looks superb but since i don't remember any photo of a T54/55 destroyed and without its turret like lot of T72/M84, building it destroyed isn't an option for me.

I have the T-55 I'm pretty sure it's the same part between the two. I'll measure when I get home.

Where was the attack? He countered your statement in a meaningful manner and I do not see him attacking you, just countering your opinion with his.

Some people have this bizarre idea that if you label a statement as an "opinion" then it becomes unassailable from any quarter regardless of how poorly formed or factually incorrect it's basis may be. They therefore take an unbelievable offense to any responding comment that falls short of fawning praise.

I also did a quick look of this guy's previous posts and I didn't see many responses to anything he wrote, let alone negative ones. People are weird.
