Tamiya 35257 1/35 Russian T-55A Medium Tank Model Kit - Detail Edition  [35257]

Tamiya 1/35 Scale T-55A Model Summary

The Tamiya 1/35 Russian Medium Tank T-55A kit reproduces the tank's compact silhouette and characteristic low profile. It gives model builders a chance to recreate one of the Cold War's ubiquitous armour types with accurate external fittings.

Service History Highlights

Introduced in 1958, the T-55A and related types were manufactured in large numbers and served in excess of 40 countries. It saw combat in several Middle Eastern conflicts and in operations during the Gulf War era. The platform typically carried a 100mm main gun and on production models included features to reduce radiation exposure.

What the Kit Includes

This kit allows builders to assemble versions with or without the DShK-M anti-aircraft machinegun and to model Polish or Czechoslovakian variants. Detailed engine vents, external fuel tanks and decal options for five markings add to accuracy and display potential.
