The MiniArt 1:35 Iraqi T-55 Al Faw / “Enigma” kit (code MA37080) recreates the distinctive Iraqi-modified version of the Soviet T-55 main battle tank. Based on a Polish-made T-55A hull, this version was augmented with additional external armour blocks for improved protection during the Iran–Iraq War and Gulf conflicts.
Kit Features
- Scale: 1/35 — ideal for realistic model building.
- Polish-made T-55A base hull, reflecting historical export chassis used by Iraq.
- Detailed surface textures with weld lines and armour block geometry.
- Includes photo-etched parts and clear parts for optics/vision blocks.
- Individual track links for realistic track detail and workable suspension.
- Decal sheet and paint-scheme options — likely including Iraqi war-time markings.
Why This Kit Is Special
This is one of the few widely-available plastic model kits of the Iraqi-modified “Enigma” variant of the T-55, capturing a lesser-known but historically significant vehicle from Middle Eastern conflicts. The added armour blocks give a unique silhouette and represent real retrofitting efforts. Great for modern-era dioramas or historical collections focused on post-WWII armour.
Recommended For
- Model builders interested in modern Middle-East / Cold-War era tanks.
- Diorama creators aiming for Gulf War or Iran–Iraq War scenes.
- Collectors seeking a unique T-55 variant beyond standard Soviet-origin tanks.
