Kit Contents & Sprues of TAKOM 1/72 T-54B Tank Model Kit
Strictly speaking, this
1/72 T-54B tank model kit from TAKOM is not an all-new moulding. It was originally bundled together with the MAZ-537G tank transporter set and released years ago, and now TAKOM has launched the T-54B as a standalone product.
Scaled down from the brand’s 1/35 T-54B tank model kit, this model comes with photo-etched detail parts and semi-link tracks.
The lower hull is moulded as a single piece with suspension arms integrated.
Minor mould flash is visible at the centre of each road wheel assembly, slightly marring the clean finish.
The semi-link tracks feature small ejector pin marks on their outer faces; a track assembly tool is included in the box.
Upper hull and fenders are cast in one piece with abundant surface details. The rear engine blast grille is recreated via injection-moulded plastic parts.
The main gun barrel is a single integrated moulded component.
The turret and auxiliary fittings display subtle cast texture details, though faint mould parting lines run along the turret rear.
Fine detailing is present across all remaining small components.
Overall Verdict of TAKOM 5025 1/72 T-54B Tank Model Kit
Pros
The T-54B remains an extremely popular subject. Since this kit is scaled down from the highly detailed 1/35 version, it delivers impressive surface features despite a modest part count and simple assembly process. Combined with its affordable price point, it stands out as the top option for 1/72 scale T-54B modellers currently on the market.
Cons
Minor mould flash on the road wheel sets creates an unrefined appearance.
Rating (out of 5 stars): ★★★★☆
