The Iraqi Tank T-55 “Enigma” is one of the most unusual and improvised variants of the classic Soviet T-55, modified during the Gulf War with additional armor, faithfully reproduced by Tamiya in 1:35 scale with excellent detail.
Its defining feature is the “Enigma” armor package, consisting of improvised armor plates mounted on the turret and hull to improve protection against anti-tank weapons. The kit accurately captures these irregular, rugged structures, making it a truly distinctive model.
The tank is equipped with the standard 100 mm main gun, along with detailed elements such as machine guns, external tools, auxiliary fuel tanks, and operational fittings typical of Iraqi vehicles.
The kit includes well-defined tracks, a detailed turret, and numerous parts that allow advanced customization. Once completed, the model offers a strong display presence, ideal for modern conflict dioramas.
A perfect subject for modelers looking for something unique, combining visual impact, modern military history, and distinctive technical features.
