Thirdwigg Posted December 10, 2015 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. Much more is at Thirdwigg.com. A video may be found .Features: Working left and right tracks, PF L, 1:1 Turret rotation, infinite rotation Gun elevation Suspension for all ten wheels Removable paneling And the right. The rear. Sorry about the single dark grey tile. The top of the turret. The snot work was fun. The internals. You can see the battery box, the turret mechanism, and the drive motors. The suspension is running down each side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technic Jim Posted December 10, 2015 What type of suspension did you use and do you have any pictures? Also, what a nice looking model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thirdwigg Posted December 10, 2015 What type of suspension did you use and do you have any pictures? Also, what a nice looking model. I don't have a good picture of the suspension yet. I used 2x4 L liftarms to mount the road wheels. The axle end of the liftarm actuated a horizontally mounted 6.5 shock absober on the inside of the hull. You can kindof see the way it works below.

GiantAmbushBeetle Posted February 16, 2018 Oh I like it, the amount of functions you were able to put in it without disrupting its shape or making compromises is astounding. Its a very nice model! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
