Manufacturer(s): ACE

Modifications: There is lack of T-55A ACE kit on the market so as the base OT-55 kit was used. Conversion to T-55A includes: anti-nuclear screens around the turret's hatches made from scratch and modified driver's and commander's hatch. The loader's hatch made from scratch and DszK machine gun as well. Engine deck converted and brass-made covers added to replicate the vehicle built in Poland. Modified front of the hull (welds and nuts), new exhaust made from brass, new base for turret's reflector. Many small improvements like e.g. welds on turret, improved barell- cover and imitation of the cast-made turret surface. Turret box made from scratch. The model contains full interior made from scratch based on pictures and cross-sections. Painting scheme was reconstructed with hundreds of photos of VRS vehicles used at that time.

After-market parts: ACE photo-etched tracks. Part photo-etched details, ARMO aluminum barell. Decals from Bison (Balkan Armour set).

Description: The model depicts a vehicle used by Bosnian-Serb Army (VRS), most probably from 8-th Motorized Brigade, sometimes in April 1994 during VRS Counteroffensive near town of Gorazde (East from Sarajevo).
