Which kit to depict a Soviet T-54 in the invasion of Hungary
Thanks

In Hungary in 1956 were the tanks T-54 produced in 1951 (T-54-3) and tanks T-54A.

Т-54-3:





Т-54А:






Models of these tanks produced by the firm "Miniart".

Thank you for a detailed and informative reply

great pics.

Superb references, Dmitry! Thanks for sharing?

Can someone identify the second vehicle, in the second images? The one between the tanks? Thanks!

It is a BTR 152.Skif made 1:35 scale kit.

An East German one, NVA:


BTR-152 open topped. It seems is if later versions (rebuilds?) got a closed top. There are images with various types of heavier weapons carried in the open compartment. There was also a "Frankenstein" version with raised top used as command vehicle.

Thank you, gentlemen!

Should you consider adding a BTR-152, plse note that the Skif kit depicts a later style vehicle with an internal tyre pressure system. So you've to back date it...
That said, it's a real dog, eeeh I mean challenge to build.

Alternatives you could use are the Trumpeter BTR-40 or the Hobbyboss Zis-151 truck as extra's for this time setting.
Personal is easier, ww2 figures with personal weapons switched out for AK-47 or sks (from the dragon set for example)

HTH,

Sam.

P.s. the Zvezda Zis-151 (ex Italeri ex peerless max kit) is better then the Skif BTR-152..and before one asks, yes I've build all of them.

This one could also be used as "side kick" for the real tanks:

I hadn't seen this last image (T54A)- remind anyone of the ancient Tamiya box art of their T55? I seem to remember it was quite a striking image - and the kit was somewhat lacking - but of course, was all we Soviet/Warsaw Pact modellers had back then.

Great info, everyone! Thanks for sharing!

...and sorry for hijacking the thread

Also present were BRDM-1s, also available from Trumpeter.

But dont forget, russians not used the ASU 57 in Hungary,1956.The photo made in 1968, czechoslovakian invasion.Check the muzzle brake in the picture(T-10) and the national sign in the motorcyle.(CS-Czechoslovakia).

Thanks for setting me straight

This is my T-54-3 (Hungary 1956).Collected from the model of the company "Tamiya".

Impressive job on the detailing
I like the paintjob and the subtle weathering.

Except tanks T-54-3 and T-54A as a part of the Soviet troops there were tanks T-34-85, JS-3 and PT-76.







Also used BTR-40 and BTR-152.

T-44 were present too.
I have a pic but on another PC.
I'll try to post it later.

Yes, the T-44 was also present in Hungary...

They also used the T54-2. I cannot find the clip but I did see a few with them in it.

While certainly not an expert, I must admit I've never heard of this type before!
