Tamiya brings this fan favorite subject to a smaller scale with this 1\/48 rendition. The T-55 medium tank not only provided a base for later T-62, T-72 and T-80 designs still in use today, it spurred Western rivals on and contributed to the great East-West arms race of the Cold War. Its 100mm gun compared favorably with the West's 90mm counterpart, and with HEAT rounds could defeat up to 390mm of armor. The T-55 was produced in the USSR, and under license in Czechoslovakia and Poland, and supplied to Soviet countries and clients worldwide - it even faced off against U.S.-designed M48s and M60A1s in the Middle East.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eFeatures authentic recreations of weld lines and cast turret surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e100mm main gun and anti-aircraft machine gun provide added realism.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAssembly type tracks have single piece straight sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eComes with a commander torso figure surveying the battle in front, and decals to create a single marking option.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit.
