Soviet Main Battle Tank T-55 1/48

The T-55 not only served as the basis for later T-62, T-72 and T-80 designs still in use today, it also spurred on Western rivals and contributed to the great East-West arms race of the Cold War.
Its 100mm gun performed well compared to the West's 90mm counterpart and could destroy up to 390mm of armour with HEAT rounds.
The T-55 was manufactured in the USSR and under licence in Czechoslovakia and Poland and supplied to customers worldwide - in the Middle East it even competed against the US-developed M48 and M60 main battle tanks.
