Awesome video very nice touch with the bit of history as well. Please more of these videos about team yankee kits and maybe painting tutorials. You have my sub!

I really like how evident are the upgrades of the Am2 version.

It is pretty obvious which is which, isn't it!

Another great video. Using mine in an East German list. Waiting on Team Yankee 2 to get playing.

These are great, aren't they? Good luck building your East Germans. I bet you need to build a few of these!

Another brilliantly helpful vid, great snippet of info on the top mounted mg that i wasnt aware of. top marks!

A great video for a true workhorse that has proved as robust as the Ak47

It was a nice kit. I enjoyed building it.

Nice review. I plan on buying t-55s as a stand in for the 54 for the k2 ironclad units in Nam for the pavn

Battlefront has an army set for Nam, with 2 ZSU-57-2 and 9 T-55 plastic tanks. It’s a great deal.

Yep. I think this kit is what BF are using in their ‘Nam sets.

I've elected to build a Polish army so I'm going to assemble about 30 of these !

Luckily they are a fun kit. My main opponent fields East Germans, so I see about the same numbers of T-55s from him!

I just wish it had enough parts to build both turret versions so you could just swap between the models... Well, I guess some plasticard could work.

Even with two complete turrets your T-55A will have skirts and a hull applique, or your AM2 will have no skirts or applique. With those inaccuracies you might as well just build one tank and proxy it as the other as needed.

@@ausaskar Hmm... I didn't notice the hull applique, I thought they were the same. It's nice to be able to build multiple models but on the other hand it's irritating to be left with parts for half another tank when finished...

How does this stack up versus the Plastic Soldier Company version? The Battlefront kit is a good chunk more expensive for 5 compared, but it seems like it's easier to assemble?

I have reviewed the PSC kit as well. In the end, I like the BF kit. It is simpler to assemble, particularly the AM2 turret version. But the PSC kit is great. I have a box of them I need to finish building...

They look better than PSC's offerings.

I bought some PSC Leopard I's a while ago as a cheaper alternative to the new BF Leopards, and now I regret my choice. The much less crisp molding, lack of decals and lack of options mean I will be buying BF over PSC in the future even if costing a little more.

Depends on what you're looking for. I personally, don't see any detail that the BF kit does objectively better. The PSC kit includes different hatches for the slight differences in the Czech/Polish licenced T-55As, has the wind sensor the BF kit lacks and a heap of different configurations for the external 12.7mm ammo boxes. The PSC kit also has different turret stowage boxes for the AM2 which are more accurate to the Czech/East German version. (The BF kit seems to be based on an early Soviet T-55AM.) The drawbacks are that it's a very involved build for a 1/100 kit (not always a drawback for scratch-builders) and the PSC kit doesn't come with the Type-69 trackguards or NSVT.

I didn’t mind the PSC kit, but it did have issues. Missing gunner optics and hull fit problems, plus a more complex build. But it did have some extra options. But the BF kit is very nice! The PSC Leopard has been mentioned here. I used them for my Australians and they were OK. But the BF Leopard is in my review stack. Looking forward to reviewing it.

Ahh you're right. I do remember the omission of the gunner's sight and co-ax MG ports was a dealbreaker for some.

Anyone Know if Team Yankee will do a “China, Vs Taiwan?” Modern day War “South China Sea,” United States, British, Australia, India, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, & Philippines. VS China, North Korea, Russia, Pakistan, & Thailand/Laos/Burma?,

I'm not sure there's be the number to make this economical. Too bad. There's some great Chinese kit.

Altough the PSC T-55 is cheapter the kit of Bf fits better to the real thing in my opinion.

Chinese? Does this mean world war 3 Asia? That be cool.

Not sure about that! However the Chinese Type 59 was widely exported, so they turn up in places like the Middle East.
