The T-54 and T-55 are a family of tanks designed in the Soviet Union, descendants of the armored vehicles used during WW 2 by this ancient power. The T-55 is sibling of the T-54 which was developed from this with a series of important modifications and that saw the light in 1955. Basically, it is actually an improvement of the T-54 which was decided to change its name for some reason, but that retains so much of the initial design that it should have been a T-54 with its bullet corresponding to the revised version. One of the most important improvements offered by the T-54/55 with respect to the old tanks was the incorporation of the 100mm cannon that some units of the T-44 already introduced. The hull is formed by welded plates and the tower is made of cast iron ... This is how the best modeling book oriented to these iconic tanks begins.

The T-54 and the T-55 belong to a family of vehicles developed in the USSR and are descendants of the armoured vehicles developed and used by the Red Army during the Second World War. The T-55 is the successor to the T-54, which was equipped with a number of important modifications and entered service in 1955. In fact, the T-55 is simply an improved version of the T-54. One of the most important improvements that the T-54/55 offered over the old tanks was the installation of the 100 mm gun, which had already been introduced in some models of the T-44. The hull was made of welded plates and the turret of cast iron.
