My latest build is a Hooben T-55A, photos below of my progress to date.
Adding some extra detailing etc

Thats an incredible level of detail Mr 2556, simply amazing.
I will move this to the modern builds section for consistency.
Looking forward to the next series of pics, top job

Thanks Herman

T-55s are entirely too rare. This looks fantastic, thus far.

Good start, I enjoyed mine when I had it!

Thanks Guys

Some photos of the lower hull modifications.
I’ve watched a lot of videos of the full size T-55’s when in motion & noticed how soft the suspension is.
The model sits to high & the suspension is to hard.
I've modified the suspension, it’s now a lot softer & I’ve corrected the ride height.
The tank should be a lot more realistic when on the move.

Some more progress on the T-55.
I’ve fitted the fuel tanks & fuel lines.
I decided to paint the fuel tank locations on the hull & the sides & backs of the fuel tanks themselves prior to fitting as it would be difficult to get the paint into the small gaps after they were fitted.

Those tiny details are great

I'm liking those teeny-tiny rubber fuel line hose clips and all of the electrical conduit and junction housings. How the heck are you making those clips? Fabulous surface detail!
