T-55A Model 1981 with KMT-5M Mine Roller

Build a distinctive Cold War armour subject with this Rye Field Models T-55A Model 1981 kit. Produced in 1/35 scale, the model features the prominent KMT-5M mine roller and includes workable tracks, etched parts, 3D-printed parts and brass chain.

The mine roller installation gives this T-55A a particularly striking profile and creates a clear focal point at the front of the completed model. Its combination of tracked vehicle and specialist equipment makes it an appealing project for modellers interested in Soviet armour and engineering configurations.

Kit Overview

Rye Field Models kit RM-5163 represents the 1981 version of the T-55A fitted with the KMT-5M mine roller. The 1/35 scale provides a consistent format for display alongside compatible armour, vehicle and scenic subjects.

The complete vehicle can serve as the centrepiece of a standalone presentation or form part of a larger Cold War composition. The forward-mounted roller assembly adds length and visual complexity to the subject, helping it stand apart from a standard T-55A configuration.
