Title: Empress Release T55.
Post by: Paul @ Empress Miniatures on August 11, 2020, 02:18:02 PM

.....and a T54 but thats in the Vietnam Empress thread.

28mm scaled at 1/50 this is a high density resin model with pewter parts.

Just right for virtually every army at any time since it first appeared in the mid 1950'S

Small number of parts as you can see so easy to get table ready. Cute and cuddly for those into that kind of thing  ;)

It deserves to be as there has been some great work on this by all involved, especially Richard.  :-*

In lieu of my doing any real research, this shows how widespread the T54/55 usage is/was.

That reminded me of my TW2K FV4055 "Cossack' project, am I correct that currently Empress do not do an L7 barrel for the Centurion?
