Tamiya 1/35 JS-2 1944 Model

Post by Lazysid »

Cheers all!

Here is my Tamiya 1/35 JS-2 1944 Model, markings of tank no 424 of the Polish 4th Tank Regiment, April 1945, Germany

As usual, Revell and Vallejo acrylics, only hairy sticks used here.

As always, please give me your opinion on this little guy :)

Lovely job on the weathering. I like that big weld or casting mould seam along the bottom of the turret - shows how roughly built the real things were! Nice sag on the tracks too. The JS-2 is my tank of choice when playing my old Panzer Elite PC game.

Very nicely done Sid, I really like to see WW II Soviet armour subjects. The painting and weathering look spot on to me 8-)

Now that is really fine work. Excellent weathering. You should do a tutorial to show us mere mortals how you did it.

Thank you very much for your kind feedback, guys!

I have just put a sticky note on my monitor to remember to take some step-by-step pics for my next build a Finnish Army Assault Gun BT-42, as well, since I always lose myself in the build and neglect this aspect.
One time, when I was building my Beutepanzer KV1, I even forgot to eat for an entire day :lol:
