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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 190mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 69mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures authentic recreations of weld lines and cast turret surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100mm main gun and anti-aircraft machine gun provide added realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly type tracks have single piece straight sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with a commander torso figure surveying the battle in front, and decals to create a single marking option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48143729623253,"sku":"TAM32598","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/tamiya-32598-1-48-russian-medium-tank-t-55-model-kit.jpg?v=1719258067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/tamiya-32598-1-48-russian-medium-tank-t-55-model-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
