Historical background

The T-55 is a Soviet main battle tank that entered serial production in the late 1950s as a development of the renowned T-54. The T-55A and the modernized T-55AM, as represented in this model, were used from the 1960s up to the present day by many armies around the world – primarily by Eastern Bloc countries, as well as the armed forces of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. The T-55 participated in numerous conflicts, including the Six-Day War, the Yom Kippur War, the Vietnam Wars, the Iran-Iraq War, and the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan.

The Revell model reflects the A and AM versions of this tank – the T-55A was characterized by improved protection against weapons of mass destruction and a better-equipped interior, while the T-55AM received additional composite armor shielding and newer fire control systems.
