Dragon's legendary 1/35 scale range of plastic kits has just benefitted from the arrival of a novel postWWII American medium tank. The new kit is a T54 (of course, not to be mistaken for the famous Soviet T54 tank). Development of the type was initiated in 1951, with the T54 representing a series of three prototypes that featured new 105mmgunned turrets on the existing M48 Patton chassis.The original T54 had a conventional turret with an autoloader; the T54E1 had an oscillating turret with autoloader, and the T54E2 was conventional with a human loader. It is the second one, the T54E1, which is depicted in this brand new kit. The turret had a nineround drum autoloader under the 105mm T140E2 gun.
