I'm not sure it is really. Most of the images i've seen of JSU 152s look as if they've been sandblasted

Michael, looks good from far away, but need better pics to tell for sure. I do agree that most of the IS-2 and JSU looked very beat up in the last months of the war.

I also think, that it looks good and realistic!
Also some modern vehicles for example T-54/55 (or others from this period) are still in use today and have this "look".

I too think it has an appropriate amount of wear and tear. But to me what really completes "the look" will be the tracks with good sag and weathering. Hope to see more of your build - I like it!

I think it looks very good. I don't think that Russian tankers had much time to take out the scrb brush and then detail it with Meguiars and Armorall. Just my pennies worth.........Al
