Big Berlin Street Fighter

[Tojo72]

Well I still have no start date in sight,but I wanted to get my initial shot posted.It will be OOB unless I go with Friul tracks.I look foward to this one,if it builds anything like the Jagdtiger,it will be a nice project.

Nice one Mr Raider

Cant wait to see this one built

From what I've read about the Tamiya kit, it ought to be a sweet build, Anthony. Good luck, I'll be following your progress!

best regards

ISU (anything) is really big and beefy.
Oh how I love Soviet Armor. It's not pretty, but
it's mean looking...

Re: Big Berlin Street Fighter Got Started

Well I guess there still is a group build going on,either way,I wanted to get the beast started.So far so good,an easy build,did the road wheels and fitted the friuls,82 links seem to work.I'm going to try to break up the monochromatic paint job by trying to vary it by trying the oil-dot filter method for the 1st time.

Re: Big Berlin Street Fighter 11-26

Ready to paint the beast.One warning,if you want to use the commanders figure,you must add him before you add the turret ring,otherwise he will not fit thru the opening !!.He is posed with his arms folded as if he would be leaning on the outside of the hatch,but he really sits down low with only his head sticking out,and once the ring is in,he doesn't fit thru.guess I should have paid better attention.Here are some more shots.

Raider ,

So... I'm not the oly one curious about that, eh? Very nice build of a very interestig subject: I too like Soviet armor a lot, for the same reason you do, raiderfan: they look tough and mean!

Cheers and thanx for sharing!

EDIT: your last post didn't appear on my PC, raiderfan, that's why I made the same question Andy did...

That's some heavy metal coming down the street.

 

[AndyFettes]

Blimey where the Russians shortsighted ?

I mean they need to build bigger tanks to put the numbers on !!!

Raider excuse the humour, I think the beast is coming along really well
