Re: The immortal Russian T55
 

nice tank

Re: The immortal Russian T55
 

That's really nice! The gun boot definitely calls some attention to the model. Did you scratchbuild this, or is it a kit? The weathering looks just right!

Re: The immortal Russian T55
 

Its a Chinese little known company called Hooben,the kit is still crappy,but they improving very fast,new molds are very impressive,my kit was a blend of old and new,which made very poor fitting between parts,but they are the only company making T55 in 1/16 scale. Weathering took a lot of time,but at the end I think it was worth it.

Finally a good target for a Abrams or a Leopard..... lol

Re: The immortal Russian T55
 

I got a abrams,but trying to fit Tamiya drives is driving me nuts
was going to buy the t-55 but the reviews were not to nice to it

Re: The immortal Russian T55
 

Heng long has released they version of Abrams and its about to hit north american market. From a toy grade company,Heng long is progressively growing into hobby grade with each and every new release.The plastic work on molds almost as good as Tamiya and in my opinion better then Revel. Electronics are still primitive,but few more years and they'll catch up. I have several Heng long tanks and have replaced the sound boards with SLU. The other thing is: The tanks are coming RTR,but if you like to super detail,optional parts are included.

mine is the hobby engine as it was the only one out there at the time.
I just saw the review for the heng long looks a lot like the H.E one

Thanks, Jeff. Its a small part of it and phone picture doesn't do justice to the paint and detailing.

Re: The immortal Russian T55

Re: The immortal Russian T55
 

Right you are, they burn like any other tank, but they keep coming back,year after after popping in every corner of the world like nasty weeds!
