Italeri 6540 T-55 - GULF WAR 25th ANNIVERSARY 1/35

Italeri 6540 T-55 - GULF WAR 25th ANNIVERSARY is a high-quality 1:35 scale plastic model kit, faithfully replicating one of the most recognizable tanks of the 20th century—the Soviet T-55, in the version used during the Gulf War. This model was released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Operation "Desert Storm," where these vehicles played an active role on the Iraqi army's side.

The T-55 tank is a Cold War legend, widely used by the Soviet, and later many other, armies around the world. From its introduction in the 1950s up to the late 1990s, this reliable combat vehicle played a key role in many conflicts, including the Six-Day War, the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, and most notably, the Gulf War in 1991. Iraqi armed forces operated T-55 tanks in both production and modernized versions, which is highlighted in this Italeri anniversary set.
