Hi all, ready..........steady...........take a look at my newest model "the Russian (BIG BOY) JSU 152.
I worked almost 1 week on this model with great pleasure and had no problems with it at all. Unfortunally the sun was shining very heavy so it was difficult to take clear shots, this is also the reason that some pics have a bit of red shining on .
However i think that i'm gonna use the JSU for the Berlin campaign.



Oh i almost forgot something, which is the white front plate, this is one of the marks (there where also tanks with large white stripes on the left and right side) that the Russian tanks wear on there way to Berlin
Enjoy and as always your comments are welcome

Eric

That is an impressive looking Uncle Joe SP Looks like it has seen some action It may be just the pics,but on the slogans on the sides it looks like the decals silvered up some

For some reason,New Year's Day by U2 keeps playing in my head when I look at this thing :-)

It's a good finish. I liked the texture in front of the tank. Body shading is good.

But decals are too clean according to your weathering. You can wear them a little bit.

Good work. I never thought of painting the front white as they (apparantly) did.

Only thing that stands out is the spare track. It seems a bit too clean.Am I right, or...?

Otherwise a fine looking clanky beast for sure.
