Minicraft is making T55's with interiors. I was in Desert Storm and have interior photo's of some T55's and Type 69's. Which Mimicraft kit with an interior would be the one to build for Desert Storm?

Hi;

Your best bet, would be to sort thru your collection and pick the one that you like the most. And then try to match the best kit that depicts your picture, the vehicle that you have the most pictures of that show the most details would be the best starting point ! T-55s depending on there origin of manufacture mite be really Hard to IDENT; In the long Run you are going to have A long Road to Follow !!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK; MIKE.

First off, it is MiniArt that is doing the T55s w/interiors. If it were MiniCraft, I would stay far away from their junk.

The MiniArt T55 Model 1963 w/Interior kit (#37018) is very nice and includes markings for an Iraqi tank from ODS.



You can see a build log I have running on it here.

Thanks Gino. There is one from the Battle of Khafji on the decal sheet. I went through Khafji as we were headed back to the states.
