Pavel, you have some excellent detail photographs of the T-55. I wonder if you have many more that you might use to create a "walk around" type of book. Maybe there is a Russian publisher (or elsewhere) that produces such books.

I agree Pavel, you can never have too much reference information……

Hi Guy’s,
Hope you can help,
I’m looking for recommendations regarding smoke units, both for engine exhaust & the main gun in conjunction with a Beier SFR-1-HL MFU board.
Thanks in advance Martin

Ooooh!
You reminded me that it's time to work on my tank...While I had the opportunity, I switched to the "Iowa" 1/200.
The smoke from the pipe is not a problem, I'll show you my version next week, but the smoke from the gun....I saw it somewhere on the forum, someone made it, there are factory-made ones, but I think it costs a lot of money...

I picked one up from ToucanRC 2 months ago and it was only $27. Unfortunately they're out of stock now.

I'd like to put one in my Afrika Corps. Taigen PzKfw. IV if it's that inexpensive. Does anyone know a North American source since Toucan has run out?
