New from Panzer Shop is a conversion set that builds a bridge-laying vehicle based on the T-55 chassis.
The MT-55A is an Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) tank, manufactured by ZTS Martin in Slovakia. The AVLB is based on a T-55A medium tank chassis, with the turret detached and replaced by a special bridge launching equipment. It was produced for the Soviet Army, Warsaw Pact countries, as well as for export clients. More than 1,700 units were produced between 1969 and 1983 to include export versions.

Panzer Shop's MT-55A Bridging Tank (PS35277) contains resin and photo-etched conversion parts to build one vehicle, either in transport or working mode. The set was designed for use with the Tamiya T-55 as base kit.

Panzer Shop also offers PS35277 with items such as Friul tracks and the Tamiya T-55 kit. Do check its site for further details.
