Explore the Iconic T-55 Model 1958 with Trumpeter's 1/35 Scale Kit

The Trumpeter 00342 model kit offers a detailed representation of the Russian T-55 tank, a significant vehicle in Cold War history. This 1/35 scale kit highlights the unique features of the T-55, which was introduced in 1958 as an evolution of its predecessor, the T-54. Notable for its redesigned turret and the absence of the distinctive roof-top mushroom ventilator dome, the T-55 also included internal upgrades such as the V-55 engine and increased ammunition capacity.

This model is ideal for hobbyists interested in military history and scale modeling. The T-55's design differences from earlier models make it a fascinating subject for display, offering a glimpse into mid-20th-century armored vehicle development. While the kit does not include photo-etched parts or additional metal components, it provides an excellent foundation for those looking to enhance their collection with a classic piece of military engineering.
