Purchase options and add-ons

During the Cold War, the T-54/55 series of tanks represented the most serious threat to Nato land forces in Europe. Available in huge quantities, it formed the core of the Warsaw Pact armored warfare doctrine, which envisaged massed tank attacks against the weakest point in Nato’s front-line defenses.

Yet the T-54/55 could be stopped by smaller numbers of tanks which had the benefit of better technology and training, as was demonstrated during the Yom Kippur War of 1973 when Israeli tanks dealt out appalling punishment to T-55s of the Syrian army. Despite these limitations, the T-54/55 was one of the most successful tanks ever produced, and this volume in the TankCraft series by Robert Jackson is the ideal introduction to it.

As well as tracing the history of the T-54/55, his book is an excellent source of reference for the modeler, providing details of available kits and photographs of award-winning models, together with artworks showing the color schemes applied to these tanks. Each section of the book is supported by a wealth of archive photographs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Publisher had COMPLETELY neglected to proofread the photo and color plate captions!

Loved the early books in this series, i,e, the Sherman, Churchill, and Tank Destroyers. The later titles are just quickly released to make a buck, without any support to the authors work. Sad downturn in a promising series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bella serie
Reviewed in Italy on November 7, 2021

Tanti anni fa esisteva una rivista, "Storia Modellismo", che coniugava articoli di storia militare con la passione per il plastimodellismo, ovvero con il montaggio di kit di aerei, mezzi militari o "soldatini" in piccola scala. Questa serie riprende il concetto: c'è una prefazione storica sul tema trattato, mentre la seconda parte si occupa dell'aspetto modellistico, con le descrizione e il montaggio di alcuni dei kit disponibili sul merato. In formato kindle a prezzo scontato (meno di 4 euro). Se il genere vi interessa, che aspettate ?
