Looks great! Filthy, but great. I'm amazed that they actually killed some of these beasts with Hetzers.

It kind of reminds me of the IS-3 that was sitting in Ukraine before Novorossiyan militias took it.Your weathering looks great also.

The JS-3 never engaged with Hetzers. They were not used in WWII.

IIRC the Hetzer's Pak39 gun wouldn't have been able to penetrate the IS-3's armor anywhere even if it had been used in WW2

My mistake. I'm not an expert on the JS series.
