Sand cracker?
More like A-10 Whartdog breakfast.
Nah I'm just kidding. This is an excellent model. Great work.
PS: Is it true that the T-55 has been nicknamed the "Kalashnikov of tanks"?

No prob. And I'll be looking forward to that destroyed T-55 model. It should be intersting to see as the majority of models made are usually shown in their top combat conditions and not precisely after they're destroyed. I pressume it could be complicated so I wish you good luck with it.

I like the T-54/55 series, were a quite decent machine.
The iraqis had a bad use of their armoured vehicles: Duggin' them in makes them vulnerable. Also, my uncle told me their crews would flee even when the vehicles weren't hit by enemy fire - you just needed to fire close to it (hey - maybe that is how Iran got so many soviet stuff after the war ended? XD).
Great job

There are some great upgrades I saw for T-55:
Al-Zarrar (Pakistan)
Marksman (British - only the cannon is good)
Tiran (Israel)
the upgraded T-54/55 that Russia has in storage, though I don't know their designation.
And I didn't heard of the iranian ones. I wonder what was the add-on you guys put on them XD

Very good. Looks like it can do the job, perhaps even better than some modern tanks, with the new armor and gun (T-55 is smaller than most new tanks, as well as cheaper,this is a good thing).

Oh yeah I just remember the one that I did was a Trumpeter Type 56 that was bought by some other company and repackaged with Iraqi markings as the "Fedayeen" type, some kind of memorial to the war in Iraq

u know wht Fedayeen mean ? it's a arbick word but i can understand it it means "zealot" some zealot were they lol u just had to hit there tank with some light weapon like Grenadeluncher and that would be eangh for them to leave there tank !

Yes actually I did know that,the term Fedayeen and "Saddam's Men of Sacrifice" were buzz words on the news and documentaries during the war.
American media....Crazy.
