yes i had to build a kit OOTB.. not fun for me. so i'm thinking about submitting this model for the AGE build. tell me what you think, i still have t oadd the tracks and wheels

So far - I like it. I think you made a great choice with Tamiya's T-55. It is a very nice kit OOB. You have simple, thoughtful, and appropriate weathering on the model right now - it really doesn't scream out for more other than blending in the tracks and road wheels when you attach them to the kit.

I find the placement of the spare track link a little odd (on the Turret grab handle) - but that's okay if you choose to leave it in place. The unit marking (white circle) on the left side of the Turret looks unusual - like either the remnant of a wash around an air bubble underneath the decal. You might want to go back and rework the weathering in that area if you can.

Good looking attempt (as usual).

The only thing I would suggest is the turret decal looks a tad bright in the second pic, versus the weathering on the tank. You might want to consider a light dust coat on it---but that's just me---this is a good looking model!

I thought you built the KV-2 oob for the Age, dude? Either way, they are both winners.

Your T-55A kit looks real good so far. Basic painting and weathering look fine. I think it will look better with road wheels and tracks once completed. Are you using kit tracks ?

One thing I find interesting is the light effects you have going in your photos. Is it intentional ? Either way I like it. Different background colors, and light tones, make the level of detail impressive.

Can't wait to see this T-55A completed ! I have one in-progress myself.

Good to go !
