Hobby Master 1/72 T-55A Polish Army (HG3302)
A rapid build up of new Russian tanks started the USA to worry about a battle in Europe
fighting thousands of Soviet tanks just like the T-55A. This concern sparked a fierce tank
development race between the two countries and in the U.S. the development of the Attack
Helicopter became a priority. The T-55 was sold to over 40 countries and came in numerous
variants. The T-54/55 became the most produced tank series in history. A replacement for
the aging T-34 was needed so the T-44 was created that evolved into the T-54 then in 1958
the T-55. From 1964 V 1979 under license from Russia, Poland built the T-55A. The T-55A
retained the T-54 and T-55 improvements plus a few of its own, improved anti-radiation
protection, improved NBC system and no bow MG. In 1970, after countless complaints a cupola
was provided for the 12.7mm DShK anti-aircraft machine gun. Some estimate 95,000 - 130,000
T-54 and T-55 series tanks were manufactured.
