About product

T-55 Model 1958 1:35 (Trumpeter)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet T-55 medium tank in 1:35 scale from Trumpeter. The model captures the early variant of the end of the 1950s with its characteristic low hemispherical turret and smooth hull. The package contains finely broken-up plastic parts with a faithful impression of welds and rivets; the turret rotates.

The real subject

The T-55 was the direct development continuation of the T-54 tank and became one of the most widespread and longest-used tanks of all. It brought a more powerful engine, a greater fuel capacity and NBC protection for the crew. The 100 mm D-10 gun stayed, while the anti-aircraft machine gun cupola on the roof disappeared. The real vehicle is characterized by a low silhouette, simple maintenance and great endurance in the most varied climatic conditions, thanks to which it served all over the world.

Building and painting tips

Work from the running gear and the lower hull, then finish the hull and the turret. Use a thin cement for plastic, apply a primer before varnishing and spray the paints with an airbrush. On a uniform green finish it helps to break the surface up with gentle modulation of the shades and then to bring out the detail with dark washes. Dust and mud pigments on the running gear and the sides of the hull give a realistic patina.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Soviet and Cold War tracked vehicles in 1:35 scale
  • Modelers interested in the early version of the T-55 tank
  • Anyone interested in a classic, readily available subject with great variety of markings
  • Fans of Eastern Bloc equipment and its use worldwide

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The T-55 was the direct continuation of the T-54. It brought a more powerful engine, a greater fuel capacity and NBC protection for the crew; the anti-aircraft machine gun cupola, on the other hand, disappeared from the turret.

It is the early Model 1958 variant with the low hemispherical turret and the 100 mm gun, that is one of the first production forms of the T-55 tank.

It is a build of medium difficulty with a favorable balance of detail and complexity. A handy beginner will manage it, but more experienced modelers will appreciate it too.
