It's been a while since I have build armor. Been doing a few figures and cars.
The subject is Trumpeters 1/35 JS-3M or IS-3M i you prefer. The kit is build oob. Painted in Humbrol #76 matt uniform green. I dared a little paintchipping. It might not be the right thing, but I had to try it.

I had only a few problems with this kit. A huge gab, between the lower and upper part of the turret, had to be filled and the instructions are at some points a bit vague. Nothing major though.

The tracks and wheels are painted, so now it's time for some weathering.









All comments/questions are more than welcome.

I like the job on your paint chipping. Subtle, not overdone. Nice job all around.
