H i guys, i've been a member of the site for a while now, but this is the first time i've posted so hi to everyone out there. My reason for posting is this- I recently came across a pic of a T-55 with Royal armouries markings and i would like to model this version as it had some unusual mods (for a T-55 anyway). What i would like to know is does anybody out there know of a company that produces smoke dischargers like the ones found on the M1-A2 and also is there a company that makes a cneturion or chieftain 105mm gun barrel (i am unsure of the correct specs of the barrel)

Thanks in advance, Sood

Welcome to the site. Once upon a time, Verlinden did an M48/M60 update set for the old Tamiya kits that included the 105mm barrel (same gun used on the Centurion) and the US style smoke grenade launchers (which I think may have originally been a UK design).

Some one kitted an update set in styrene, had like four different barrels, side skirts, all kinds of stuff. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the company but I think I still have it in my pile. I'll check. Pretty sure it was a Korean company. I think it had parts to make the Korean version of the M48 with it too.
