Dedicated primarily to modellers and lovers of military history, this book documents the use of various tanks in combat, ranging from the IDF armoured forces to the T-54/55 and some rare versions of the T-34.
The author, Samer Kassis, a seasoned military historian of the Middle East, invites us on a fascinating journey into the recent history of Lebanon, publishing never-seen-before photographs of that moment in time.
MODELING T54 – T55 MINIART
English / Spanish Languages
176 pages. Semi-hard cover.
27,95€
MiniArt’s first collaboration with AK-Interactive brings 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 mod-els, showing 6 extensive and amazing step-by-step articles, and numerous curiosities of the different versions and evolutions. A book that a modeller can ́t miss even if you are not a fan of this tank.
The T-54 and T-55 are a family of tanks designed in the Soviet Union, descendants of the armoured vehicles used during the II WW by this ancient power. The T-55 is a 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 cannon that some units of the T-44 already introduced. The hull is formed by welded plates and the tower is made of cast iron … This is how the best modelling book oriented to these iconic tanks begins.
