The T-55AGM was a highly interesting upgrade project for T-55s offered by KMDB (Kharkiv Morozov Design Bureau) around the early 2010s to bring the venerable T-55 up to T-80 standard (allegedly) by adding a 125/120mm main armament including a bustle-mounted loading system reducing the crew to 3 in addition to a 6TD diesel engine and a whole host of other changes.
The kit is made by Modelltrans and includes both resin cast and 3D-printed parts with an overall nice quality. I had to scratchbuild two sensor assemblies on the turret as they were missing (won´t rule out I´ve lost them myself though...) and I added a barrel from my spares box for convenience. The tracks and turret rear seem to be a bit different from my references but I´m willing to go with those areas as is.
