Yawn...another T54/55 variant. Hey Miniart how about trying your hand on another chassis? A Jagdpanther would be nice...

No Panthers. We have enough now. They promised M3 Lee and Grant. Now that's something worth building. And Miniart is the kind of company to sneak in "lulubelle" decals so I can finally use that Masterbox Allied Soldiers set. And it's nice to finally have so many variants of vehicle actually produced for 50 years and used all over the world as opposed a handful produced and used for 18 months in Europe.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. Your comment does not further discussion of this release.

Before Miniart (and Takom to a point) started on the definitive T-54/5 series, there was nothing great in 1/35 (the Tamiya kit is ok, but old, and the rest even older). At least when they have finished, your have the ability to go and buy the version you want, with or without interior, without worrying about the need for an aftermarket resin set to get to the version you want, which is possibly OOP.
