Simon NagorsnikThank you guys!
@lukasz: you can find so many of the t-54/-5 in all scales but only a few with polish markings, that's why i decided to do one- and i like the emblem😄

Michael KohlVery convincing build for this scale. Looks like some photo etch was part of the box. Nicely painted. I deserves i little vignette.

Simon Nagorsnikthx michael and all who liked my work!
there are only a few pe parts in the box

Maxim MalparteVery impactive result overall and the particularly lovely shades on canvas. Great work! Fooled my eyes too lol 😄
Regarding the kit, I thought it was mushy with nasty tracks and went for the Revell T-55 with KMT5. Terribly wrong it seems...

Simon NagorsnikSpanjaard and max thank you for your kind words!
Of course, the parts with the singe track elements was a bit tricky, but the kit contains a assembly help, that makes it better to handle. However, i can only recommend this kit!
Till now i have no reference about the revell kit, so....

Robin (WhiteGlint)Thumbs up for that base, too. I think it fits really well with the tank. 👍 👍

Simon NagorsnikThanks whiteGlint😄
The most of the reference pics for this project that i have found looked like this, so i'm very glad with the result!

Bart Goesaertvery nice... maybe a lot of reading, but in here you can find some nice comparisons of different kits while he is building a few...

MarkQuality work that easily passes as 1:35 - I had to check (twice!) that it was listed as 1:72. 👍
20 October 2021, 19:01
Simon Nagorsnikthank you zsolt, robert, max (again 😉) and mark!
that's also what I want to achieve!
Inspired by the work of sergey golikov.
i was flashed when i saw his work the first time and so i want to learn this too!

Villiers de VosBeautiful. The diorama and the model. It brings those cold war news reels to mind.

MonaAwesome detail ,well done in my opinion ..in a scale I cannot work with. The T54/55 has so many variants ,and countries utilizing . It seems to provide endless modeling opportunities
26 October 2021, 17:31
James CExtremely good painting and weathering and even more impressive being done in 1/72 scale! 👍
26 October 2021, 19:15
Simon NagorsnikThank you @mona, marius and james!
Your word honor me😄
@mona:you're right, t-54/55 serve so many possibilities, they was used in so many countries for so long time- a gift for all tank modellers!
26 October 2021, 19:24
Chan LiNice! I have to say it again, every time I look into your result I can learn something new, I mean it.

Album info
T-54B
In Polish service, circa 1960.
I admit that this decal variant actually belongs on a T-55.
But this T-54 is one of my earlier works when I came back to the hobby and didn't take this fact so seriously at the time.
!Please forgive me for this! 😉
I gave this model a little makeover to make it a bit more in line with the rest of my collection.
This Ammo kit (A.MIG-8502) is directly built out of box, apart from the gun barrel, which I replaced with one from Aber (72L-45).
I have absolutely nothing to complain about with the quality of this kit and it does well without a lot of extra accessories.
