Hobby Master 1/72 Ground Power Series
HG3324T-54B Russian Medium Tank 815, Hanoi, April 1975
General BackgroundThe T-55 is a very mobile chassis with a low profile and with external fuel tanks has great endurance. All this is topped off with a high-velocity gun with 43 rounds available. However the low profile means cramped crew compartment and a slow rate of fire for the gun. The external fuel tanks make the unit vulnerable and the armor is thin compared to western standards. The T-54/55 is the most produced tank in history and has served with over 40 countries. It is the AK47 of tanks, inexpensive and everyone has one.mored Cavalry Squadron.
