Review: Nice realistic mode - Tamiya quality is evident in this model, although some of the assembly illustrations could be clearer when dealing with smaller parts. I would be willing to pay a little more for metal grill covers instead of what's provided. Overall a fun build. I did decide to buy a metal seamless gun tube instead of the two piece plastic one Tamiya supplies. No pesky seam to try and sand off. The rubber tracks have their pluses and minuses. Easy to paint and put together—I have built a number of Tamiya tank models with these and haven’t had one break yet. The individual tracks on the market vary greatly in quality with metal tracks costing as much as the model. Some of the cheaper track brand are difficult to glue together and for me have a bad habit of coming apart. The more expensive use pins. For now the Tamiya tracks suit me just fine.
Review: Great kit! - Great kit which is no surprise from this manufacturer.Includes extra parts to help build yours the way you see it. Goes together well and looks great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Tank
*by M***. on September 18, 2024*

This is my 5th Tamiya T-55 build excellent quality model easy to assemble no obstacles I made mine an Egyptian camo scheme .I used Trumpeter's T-55 plastic track links, and it fit perfect around the drive sprockets and road wheels usually rubber plastic tracks are easier, but I felt it needed a better detail with track links instead overall great T-55 I recommend it to the tank modelers No interior details though like other T-55 models, but this one will do.
