Cold War tanks, pre-89?

[Wurger]

Yes.. I would say the same. The 113 tank in post #91 and 97 seems to be the modernized T-54. Judging by these spider wheels it is the early one.

Also the white 113 number seems to be a little bit different for both tanks. The one of posts #91,97 has that number moved more forward and painted with thicker font.

Anyway I think that both of them are the T-54 model 1951 and possible modernized.

Is it a larger counterweight on #113 in post 87 as well, or is it just me?

It's quite difficult to recognize. Initailly I had been thinking that was the canvas cover used for protection of the barrel tip while moving on the dusty roads or a muddy ground ones. But later I thought it could have been the LB-1 gun that had a muzzle brake instead of the fume extractor. But I'm not sure because I haven't heard about T-54 model 51 with the gun fitted.

Here is the LB-1 barrel tip seen...

And here the next T-54 modified to T-54B ... BTW ..the number 136

Pain in the tailpipe finding this gun in 1/35!

Thanks my friend!

I wonder if this one is good enough....

T-54, the gun D-10T (Trumpeter, Tamiya) ― SOGA Miniatures

It looks good IMHO. You may use that for the modernized T-54.

I just need to find it then, somewhere!

 

[Wurger]

Yep...

 

[Lucky13]

Got one, I hope....will see if it works!

 

[Lucky13]

Had a wee quick look at the kit....not too sure about the tyres....

Looking good and quite typically for the ZIL truck.

Really grown to like the Zil 157 truck!

I might just have to get the truck version later, eh?

Only if you need that for heavy cargo.
