Reviews : Tamiya Israeli Tiran 5 Tank

This kit is based on Israeli modified Russian T-55 tanks that were captured during the 6 day and Yum Kip-pour wars. This is a great kit for fans of Russian and IDF Armour because it is so rare to find. The kit itself is very highly detailed with a fairly low number of parts that is based from Tamiya's earlier release of the T-55A with some added parts to make it a Tiran 5. The parts fit together very nicely with no flash at all and the instructions are very clear. The kit comes with Israeli 2 figures and loads of accessories that can be added to it. You will end up with a decent amount unused parts that are from the T-55A sprues including a Russian commander figure. Overall I had a really fun time putting this kit together and I would highly recommend it for any intermediate level builder.

I found this to be a great build with only a few hard pieces. As always reading the instructions carefully is important. nice details and some handy extra parts. I would rate this a medium difficulty project. pieces fit well and little flash.
