Miniart 1/35 T-55

It's been a pretty quiet month modelling-wise as I've had to do some DIY due to a new fire being fitted in the front room plus the Miniart T-55 has been taking up all of my spare time, along with doing five kit reviews for Model Military Int'l magazine.
The build of the T-55 is virtually finished, all I have to do is fit the tracks, photograph it, do the write-up then you can all read about it on The Modelling News at some point. You can find the in-box review here;

So here it is at the moment, once the build is done it will go to the back of the queue for painting as I need to shift a couple of other projects along such as the E-75 tank destroyer and the Takom Leopard C2;

Although the links have four sprue connections they weren't that bad to remove from the sprue due to the soft plastic, however care needs to be taken cleaning them up as it is very easy to bend the ends of them.
