A.J. MadisonThe detail on the fuel lines on the sponson tanks is incredible. Especially so, since Tamiya didn't even bother to include any fuel lines, let alone detail the connectors & the hose clamps.
CortexYou got it, seen this first hand! And fuel lines parts aren't only sharp and crisp but also easy to assemble .. headlights cage was even more challenging!
This kit has everything needed to build a good looking T-55. No need for aftermarket whatsoever and fuel lines are just one treat out of many in this kit.
Mr JamesNice build. Lovely paint job and I like the cover on the mantlet. The gun is also really good
CaptGPFYou nailed the details very well - which turned an otherwise plain color scheme into something that draws you in.
CortexThank you! I chose the white color specifically because it doesn't hide kit's beautiful details like Olive Darb or Dark Green
