Nitto did them in 1/72.  They were lovely models as well.  I used to leave a lot of the interior detail when I used them wargaming.  They were much better looking than the comparable Airfix or other companies' products.  Their Panzer IV was a work of art.

The PZ IV is the one I particularly remember

Does anybody know of any 1/48 T-54/55 models?  Preferably injected, rather than resin or metal.

Here's a Bluetank one on ebay.

Interesting.  The postage to downunder is ruinous though ($US41-49.00).  If it is 1/48 it's fit the bill for what I want.

I had one years ago and it would be as close to 1/48 as you can get. I compared it to a 1/48 M-1 Abrams and a 1/50 Challenger both by Takara. It was smaller than both but I never measure it to find out if it was truly 1/48. I can't believe what they're charging for shipping; highway robbery it is. Too bad you didn't ask me three or four years ago as I sold all of mine when I got disinterested in 1/48 modern armor.
