Thanks for the review. I'm very tempted by these miniart Cold Wars tanks.

You should pull the trigger Phil. These are very nice kits. Here is a build review I did of one of their full interior T55s.

Thanks for the pointer to your review, Gino. Nice job on that!

I'm trying to decide between one of these and a takom chieftain mk 5. I'd like to model a subject from the Iran Iraq war.

Chieftain is a really nice kit and MiniArt is more of a challenge, but the results of both can be stunning.

Undoubtedly terrific kits from a company that makes terrific a norm. Seems that every major Warsaw Pact country seemed to produce its own variant in some vague way. Interesting.

Great Review, Darren.

I've wanted one of these since they came out, but $100-€85 is the lowest I've seen online!
