You've done a terrific job on the old Tamiya IS-122. I love the peeling paint and where the paint looks like its bubbling from the rust under it. I also think you did a good job with the tracks and running gear.
Are you going to put the tank in a diorama, or are you going to leave it as is?

Great job! I am building one of these, too. Are those the tracks that came with the kit? If they are you did a superior job with them. I bought Fruilmodel tracks because I could not get the folds and twists out of the ones with the model and I thought they looked much too thin. I really like the smashed light, too. The paint and cracks in the white wash are very well done. I had thought about leaving mine bare like you did, but I put all the boxes and spare tracks on. I used those from the Fruil set because I think the one with the kit were too small and had not enough linkages.

Great looking SU 122 Felix! Like your whitewash camo, came out well with the scratches and muddy tracks.
Thanks for sharing! Cheers -
