Hi, I wonder if someone makes a 6mm T-55 with Brezhnevs' eyebrows and skirts. CinC makes such a T-62 but We didn´t have themGrin. H&R/Scotia etc. don´t show too many pics of their models at web. V-P

Yep, horseshoe = the eyebrows but no ERA but the track skirts or whatever... I´m after a model looking close to DDR/Czech(?) T-55AM2 Kladivo upgrades. Shouldn´t be too difficult to DIY in 6mm, though Grin V-P

Just had a thought, H&R do the Iraqi version (IQM1) the turret might work with the rear armour section removed. I will put one together and see what it looks like.

Only few Finnish T-55M:s (M=modernized) had the additional turret armour but most/all had track skirts so that sounds promising.
