Trumpeter 00338 Russian tank T-54B 1:35

The first prototype of the T-54 was completed in 1947. This was a logical development of the T-44 tank developed toward the end of World War II, which was in turn a development of the infamous T-34 medium tank. The T-54 has also been built in China as the T-59, as well as in Czechoslovakia and Poland.
