Service background and notable traits

Introduced in 1958, the T-55A became a common element in many armed forces thanks to its compact hull and the 100mm main gun. The model reflects a variant fitted with anti-radiation adaptations, illustrating the types of updates applied during the Cold War period. The T-55A saw service in many nations and was used in notable conflicts in the Middle East and the Gulf region.

Kit details and realistic components

The finished Tamiya 21006 showcases fine surface detail along with metal tracks that add weight and authenticity. The turned aluminum gun barrel improves the overall scale realism, while the applied markings and sand-toned paint reference a Middle Eastern theatre vehicle.
