There have been a couple of projects this year that have been a long time in the making. I have been happy to clean out The Queue over the past couple of months.
This is a MOC of the most widely produced tank of all time. The T-54/T-55 series of tanks has its roots connecting back to the T-34 of WWII. This MOC represents the T-55a version, produced from about 1979 onwards. Basically, it means I got to build the AA gun on the top.
