I dont see any soviet mine clearing equipment in the ghq catalog. I am interested in T-55 or later with the rollers on the front if GHQ does not make it i hope it is all right to ask if any of the mebers know who does.

Thanks

"Glue-on" mine plows and rollers can be ordered from Irregular in the UK. And they are a poor quality generic casting that is NOT up to GHQ's high standards. Look ok once covered in paint and if viewed from a good distance though.

The "other guys" make glue-on Russian rollers for the T55 (their #R63) which ARE of very nice detail but a bit weak, physically. Models must be handled with care once so equipped.

I just use models of kids in jeeps deployed out ahead of my Iranian tank units. That is what recon is for, no ?
