PSC T-55AM2 Kit THE UNBOXING!

Look what arrived in the mail today straight from the UK!  The long awaited PSC T-55 15mm kit!  It's finally here!!


After unboxing, you notice the kits are placed in there efficiently and tightly as one would expect from a PSC box.   They also include instructions to assemble into the various T-55 marks from the Warsaw Pact.  I didn't realize we were going to get all of these potential marks: Polish, Czech, Soviet, and East German.

I am VERY happy with the quality of this kit.  The detail is very nice and the kit is crisp and clean. Check out the detail:




and finally, I love how it says "suitable for Battlegroup" on the back of the box.



Now, I'm no expert by any stretch but after seeing those words on the box, I arrive at 2 conclusions:


  • There were no T-55s that fought in World War II.
  • Battlegroup "Modern" is really happening.  Now, truthfully, I already know that it is happening eventually, but seeing it on a T-55 box from PSC only builds my excitement!  


Great job PSC.  Can't wait for more of your modern kits to arrive.  5 stars!  These guys will get a different paint job than my other T-55s - most likely a camouflage paint job.  Cannot wait!!

Stay tuned.  The Basement Battle Bunker is taking shape!

    1. Mark,
      The quality is superb. Im very happy with them. Money well spent. If they are making other vehicles of this quality then they can count me in as a customer.

  2. Looks real nice but... Oh no, where are the vertical openings at both sides of the mantlet, the ones for the coax MG and the gun sight? The turret looks odd without them!

    1. Hopefully the other detail on the model makes up for it!

    1. Ken, you can never have too many! Unfortunately i already have enough of the roskopf/eko/command decision models to justify buying any more.
