Modeling T54 – T55 MiniArt
MiniArt’s first collaboration with AK-Interactive brings as a result this fantastic book backed by the quality and originality of both brands.This book covers the scale models of this iconic tank, and the new MiniArt models, showing 6 extensive and amazing step-by-step articles, and numerous curiosities of the different versions and evolutions.
The T-54 and T-55 are a family of tanks designed in the Soviet Union, descendants of the armored vehicles used during the WWII
The T-55 is sibling of the T-54 which was developed from this with a series of important modifications and that saw the light in 1955. Basically, it is actually an improvement of the T-54 which was decided to change its name for some reason, but that retains so much of the initial design that it should have been a T-54 with its bullet corresponding to the revised version. One of the most important improvements offered by the T-54/55 with respect to the old tanks was the incorporation of the 100mm gun that some units of the T-44 already introduced. The hull is formed by welded plates and the turret is made of cast iron.

While the T-55 book undoubtedly deserves to be up on the reference shelf, the DAK book appeals more to what I build.
