MiniArt 37025 V-55 ENGINE 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit designed for advanced modelers and enthusiasts of historical military vehicles. The product represents the V-55 engine, which was the heart of the Soviet T-55 tank and its later modifications. This model is faithfully reproduced in 1/35 scale, making it perfect both as a standalone display piece and as an addition to military layouts and dioramas.

Authenticity and Historical Details

The V-55 engine was an innovative power unit for Soviet tanks during the Cold War period. First introduced into service with the T-55 at the end of the 1950s, it was widely used by the armed forces of the USSR and Warsaw Pact countries. These engines powered tanks used in conflicts in the Middle East, the Vietnam War, and numerous local conflicts up until the early 21st century.

This model captures with remarkable accuracy the key assemblies of the engine: the cylinder block, heads, equipment, installations, and wiring. MiniArt has ensured every detail, offering sprues with finely reproduced technical details, allowing for a realistic presentation of the engine when hatches are opened or when creating a workshop module. The model consists of many parts enabling customization and rich personalization of the project.
