hey all, myself and a couple other Armorama regulars are working on doing a unofficial group build. This group build is entitled "Russian Bigguns" and focuses on the wierd and wonderfully overgunned Soviet AFVs from the about 1943 to the 1960's. Pretty much anything goes, ISU-122, ISU-152, ISU-152 Model 1945 (the one based on the IS-3 chassis), the Oka and Kondensator nuclear guns (only someone really crazy would build one of those), Su-122P, and the T-34/100 among others (not the Egyptian or Syrian mods, but actually the WW2 Soviet experimental T-34/100). Vehicles not allowed are the Su-122, KV-II, or other Soviet vehicles that had large bore guns but with stubby barrels. Just as long as the gun is ridiculously large and long. There is no real start or end date at this point, no scale requirements, build it anyhow you want, just a have fun low stress build. So if anyone else wishes to join in, feel free too, the more the merrier.
Personally, I'm modifying a DML Su-100 into a Su-122P. The Su-122P was an experimental 122mm gun armed Su-85M. The only modifications necessary are replacing the square front fenders with round ones and replacing the gun with a 122mm piece. It never entered service, but just for kicks, I'm going to model it as such that it did see combat. Below is a pic of my so far very-limited progress on it.
Was that especially for my benefit?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Would the JS-3 or -3M fit into this category?
