Welcome back, Sam.
I've been working on a T-72 and decided to make the turret out of fiberglass
because of the curved, teardrop shape. Are you planning to use metal for the
T-55 turret ? It looks similar to the T-72, maybe a bit more hemi-spherical.
Do you have any thoughts on you'll shape the metal ?

Steve,
I had an operational T-34 wich has done a few European battles, But I've
completly disassembled the tank because there were a few things that were
broken down. Also I did not like the wooden construction of the tank, It
hasn't the mean heavy look of a real tank.
And I think The T-55 Will be very cool when it's build out of metal. And if
it's driving with a gas engine it will be a monster.
Sam,
