Description
The Tamiya Soviet T-55 Tank Plastic Model Kit is a 1/48 scale assembly kit designed for hobbyists who appreciate finely detailed military models. Its low-profile hull, rounded hemispherical turret, and commanding 100 mm cannon recreate the authentic appearance of this armored vehicle. Tamiya enhances the model with lifelike cast texture on the turret and a carefully rendered welding pattern across the hull for a realistic completed look.
This Tamiya Soviet tank assembly kit also features a finely detailed DShK-M airplane gun, connected track components, and added weights for a more substantial feel. A front-view commander bust and one decal are included. Assembly and painting are necessary, making this a hands-on project for experienced builders ages 15 and up. Adhesive, tools, and paints are available separately.

Care instructions
Handle completed parts with care, particularly the small and delicate details. Use a soft, dry brush or gentle cloth to remove dust, and do not immerse the plastic model in water.
