Bison Decals Balkan T-55s Stock Number: BD-35004 Reviewed By Mark Aldrich, #39295 |
MSRP: $8.00 USD This was the second set of decals that I received. Again, they are for one of my favorite tanks, and they were of a relative non-popular armor subject. This set comes with a fold-out 8 ½ x 11 decal placement sheet/painting guide, decal identification sheet, a 2 ¾ x 5 decal sheet, and three separate subdued decals. The decals are printed by Microscale and are very thin. All of these are nicely done. This set even comes with two bonuses. These are a mix of both freehand paint and some that look like they were well applied. A neat touch is the numbers for vehicle number 14; they have a nice worn appearance to them. They are done as if they were worn from wear or worn from shoddy application. The decals for vehicle number 13 have red and yellow circles. I am not sure if the intent was for the red to over bleed onto the yellow but on my examples it did on both sets. The bonuses are that they have markings for vehicle number 11 which is a T-55A/M-18 Hellcat hybrid and vehicle number 6 which is a ZSU-57-2. There are enough decals to finish off 15 different vehicles and like set number BD-35003, none of these are generic decals. They are designed to belong to a specific tank at a specific time period. Here is what you can model.
