T-54's used T-34/85 type wheels like those seen on the DML 1/35th
T-34/85. I would imagine due to inventory reasons that some T-54's would
eventually use T-55 wheels in some cases.
The T-55 kit features almost all of the parts for a T-54, except those
distinct wheels. Whats curious is the drawings used for the painting
diagrams show T-54's with those T-34 wheels. Too bad the wheels weren't
included...time to rob a T-34/85???
The PST T-55 is a good kit nonetheless, at least looking at it from the
box. The fact that two turrets and two gun barrels are included, to make
a T-54 and T-55, makes it a winner to me. I can't vouch for accuracy,
and the details are a bit soft in some areas, but all in all a good
purchase at 9$ U.S.
