I have the Operation Unthinkable boxed set containing the American and Soviet tanks. The GF9 Operation Unthinkable boxed set, the American versus Soviet, contains 21 tanks. Six of these are the T54-1. What I didn’t realise was that the T54-1 model can also be made up as a T44 or a T55 as the different turrets are included. This gives even more flexibility over just using them as T54-1 tanks.
There is an additional sprue for the T-44 and T-54-1 variants.
I decided to make two of the models as the T-44.
The construction is very simple starting off with the hull of the tank.
The tracks are then added.
The next step is dependent on if you are making the T-44 or one of the other variants.
The next step was a white undercoat.
In order to add shade I sprayed the underneath of the model with a black spray.
I had originally planned to paint the model with Army Painter Colour Primer: Angel Green, but I think it was too dark. So, I used Army Painter Army Green Spray instead.
The next stage will be painting the tracks.
