T-55AMD Russian Modernized Tank with Drozd APS — Scalable 1/144 to 1/32 (Multi-Part Kit)

Highly detailed model of the T-55AMD, the advanced Russian modernization of the iconic T-55 tank equipped with the Drozd Active Protection System (APS). This experimental variant represented one of the first attempts to integrate active protection technology on Soviet-era armor, combining the proven T-55AM platform with cutting-edge countermeasure systems.

An essential addition to any modern Russian military collection, experimental armor display, or Cold War technology showcase. The distinctive Drozd APS launchers and enhanced turret configuration immediately set this apart from standard T-55 variants, making it a unique piece of military engineering history.

• Accurate representation of the T-55AMD with full Drozd APS configuration

• Multi-part kit with optimized component separation: — Enhanced turret with Drozd APS integration — Drozd countermeasure launchers (4 per side) — Lower hull with improved armor layout — Individual track runs for realistic sag and detail — 100mm D-10T2S cannon with thermal sleeve — 12.7mm DsHk anti-aircraft machine gun — Side skirts with correct profile and mounting brackets — External fuel tanks and stowage fittings — Antennae, tools, lights, and battlefield accessories

• Recommended scale range: 1/144 up to 1/48 (ideal detail-to-printability ratio) • Pushable to 1/32 — possible but not recommended due to wall thickness limitations on fine details • Default scale is 1/100, easily rescaled using the provided formula • Compatible with SLA/Resin printing for high-detail results; FDM possible at larger scales

Printability: • Designed for intermediate to advanced modellers • Separate track components allow for realistic installation and weathering • Hull and turret split for easy hollow printing and weight reduction • Drozd APS components pre-sized for proper alignment • Small parts (antennae, tools, machine guns) sized for their respective scales — test print recommended at 1/144 • Extensive manual supports needed on most resin printers for major components • Assembly instructions: install tracks, attach side skirts, mount turret, add APS components and detail parts last

Whether you're building a modern Russian military diorama, experimental armor showcase, Cold War technology display, or documenting the evolution of active protection systems, the T-55AMD brings unique APS capabilities and distinctive presence to your collection.
