Great looking T-55 Vyacheslav. Excellent build and paint. Restrained realistic weathering is spot on. Well done.

Hi;

I think what Richard is refering to is the Fire Control System (FCS)! Which is A Lazer Range Finder linked to A Balistic Computer. The system also Incorpated A Cross Wind sensor, & Tucha Smoke Grenades. One such system was called Kladivo !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Set external equipment is part of the complex Kladivo.

Weather sensor



Laser rangefinder



In addition to the options AM2 / AM2B existed option AM1.

Dang that thing is pretty. You did an awesome job putting that together.

I have spent hours climbing around and working on my friend's T-55AM2 (you posted pictures of it when it was in MVTF's collection. It is the one showing its laser and wind sensor mast and its laser mounted over the main gun). And I can say you got the detail right. The only one thing I see that is different on yours than my friend's tank (and I do not know if it was a standard modification) is his front splash guard has a notch in it on the driver's side. I know it is picky and not necessarily a standard modification, but I wanted to show it to you.

Hello. On the model, the front hammer also has a cutout.

Wow you did get it all!! That is an awesome detailed piece of art.

I really like the DDR T-55AM2. I got to visit a Polish version (Merida) this week (Battlefield Vegas has one you can walk around) and I know another guy that is getting one shipped over to the US. All I can say is I really am not a huge fan of the Polish version. They just don't feel as nice. Its hard to pin point why, but that is the feeling I get after being around both types.
