T-55A Late Mod. 1965
By: MiniArt
Item no: 37022 Price: £57.99
MiniArt has addressed yet another Soviet T-55 sub-type, in the shape of the Mod.1965 (late), and its full interior boxings continue to redefine detail levels. Compared to previous releases, there are new RMSh workable tracks, rear sprockets and idler wheel cylinders, with a mere 84 styrene runners, and 16 track link and pin sections. There are hints at a future mine-plough release with optional fittings, plus rear fuel drums and snorkel, and a choice of fixed/ moveable torsion bars, early/late auxiliary fuel tanks and stowage, open/closed hatches and day/night searchlights. As ever, with MiniArt, an excellent mix of schemes is provided:
