I think the major news in this release is the 1970 configuration, the OMSh-tracks have been included in most of their T-55 kits.
The OMSh has closed loops on the track links for the sprocket teeth to go into.
The RMSh tracks only have pins sticking out.
Miniart also sell the tracks as separate products,
early & late RMSh and early & late OMSh (i.e. 4 different sets).

Merry Christmas me!
This kit should turn out perfect. I have three more T 55 variants ahead of it in my stash to practice on.

This is basically the surplus and refurbished T-55 (not T-55A) in the 70s.It is nice for people looking for the T-55 with roof machinegun, which is lacked in other Miniart's T-55 sets.

I honestly had no idea that there were this many variants of the T54/55 family. Looking forward to similar exhaustive treatment of the T72.
