Where to buy a type-59?

I often see some type-59 in tier 6-9 games but I don't see it in any tech tree. I Would like to buy one because it seems to be very strong. Do I need to buy premium for a certain ammount of time? Do I need to buy something else? Is it a special tank or a more-than-premium tank?

Thanks!

Currently the type 59 is not available from the standard gift store.

However, during special events or certain periods it's put in the store again temporarily, so if you keep following the world of tanks news page you should be able to pick it up eventually.

Another less sure way to pick one up is to join the competitions Wargaming sometimes organizes, the type 59 is often one of the prizes.

I found it. They just removed it. I was not sure it was possible. Now I'm disapointed.

You can, as of version 8.8, buy a T-34-3 which is basically a new version of the removed Type 59 - it's not as good as the original though.
