Showcase model: Tamiya 21006 1/35 T-55A in desert livery

The T-55A holds a notable place in postwar armour history with a compact layout and proven firepower. Tamiya's 21006 1/35 scale kit represents this platform in desert tones, offering a detailed display piece for serious scale enthusiasts.

Background and design notes

Built from 1958 onwards, the T-55A was widely exported and valued for its small profile and the 100mm main gun. This kit highlights a variant featuring anti-radiation fittings, reflecting modifications seen during Cold War deployments. The T-55A served in many countries and was present in conflicts across the Middle East and Gulf areas.

Model features and finish

The assembled model benefits from metal tracks that add realism and presence, while the turned aluminum gun barrel enhances scale accuracy. Decals and the sand-coloured paint scheme reference vehicles used in desert operations.
