The wonderful Tamiya kit made OOB. Beautiful kit, I enjoyed building it...


And regarding the painting, I use the MR Hobby (Gunze) H303 Green. It looks, at least to my eyes, like a very good shade of 4BO.

Very nicely done! You really can't go wrong building a Tamiya kit as far as fit is concerned. But you took the model to the next level with really nice painting and weathering. The color, to me, looks correct. You did such a terrific job weathering the undercarriage and lower hull ... may I suggst you carry some of that dust effect onto the upper surfaces, as well? Dust settles around every detail on hull, turret or casemate roofs and decks. It would really bring out the surface detail if you could ...

Really nice model!

Well done!!

I like a lot white stripes and red stars. The dust is very convincing

Gunze H303?Actually I have it, but I've never thought that I can use it to paint russian tanks. I'll give you a try for sure, many thanks for the advise

cheers

It was a very enjoyable kit,one of my favorites.You did a great job with that dust and weathering.

If you enjoyed the JSU-152 try the the Tamiya Jagdtiger,just as good also.

Mike, Dylan, Mauro, Anthony, Thanks!!!
Mike, to be honest, I'm affraid a bit, to proceed with the dust... I'm affraid that I'll go to far, and the result will not be good...
Mauro, try it... I've used various shades of green so far, but, I've settled with this one, that gives a worn out look, just by applying it...
Anthony, I'll try it, but, my heart beats for those russian beasts... I've made several German Tanks in the past, and to tell you the truth, I'm full of them...

A great job on this beast- I particular like the markings around the upper hull and the weathering you've done on them.
