Takom Afghan Army T-54B Medium Tank

This Takom 1/72 scale plastic model kit recreates the T-54B Medium Tank in Afghan Army service. The T-54B was a Cold War Soviet main battle tank that served with dozens of countries and saw action in many major post-war conflicts, making it a significant armoured vehicle subject for modellers interested in Cold War military history.

The T-54B was used by Afghan government forces as well as by the Soviet Army. By the time of the Soviet-Afghan War of 1979-1989, it was no longer the Soviet Union’s principal battle tank, but it remained part of the wider armoured vehicle story of the conflict and period.

Cold War Armoured Subject

The Afghan Army configuration gives this T-54B a distinctive identity within a Cold War vehicle collection. Its connection with Afghan government forces makes it particularly suitable for modellers building subjects associated with Afghanistan and the wider Soviet-Afghan War period.

Link and length tracks provide a detailed approach to representing the running gear, while the included photo-etch components add further detail to the finished model. Three marking choices are supplied, giving you a choice when deciding how to finish your build. The model fits naturally alongside other 1/72 vehicles and Cold War armour subjects.

Assembly and Finishing

This Takom kit is supplied as a 1/72 scale plastic model and requires paint and glue for assembly and finishing. Its combination of link and length tracks, photo-etch parts and three marking choices provides a focused representation of the Afghan Army T-54B while retaining the compact size and appeal of a 1/72 military vehicle model.
