Hi all!

I finished my old Tamiya JS-3 Stalin rebuild. I own this model for about 16-17 years. I bought this model, when I was a kid. The model was hand painted in bad quality. In this spring I decided to rebuild it. I removed the old paint and fully disassembled it. I rebulilt it with the Aber upgrade set, the RB barrel and the Friul track. I painted it with the Mig russian 4BO set, and I weathered it with the AK and Mig pigments. The markings are from montex. I choosed the polish eagle markings, used by the polish army in Warsaw 1953.

I think my old ugly IS-3 was reborned. Very good to see it in a modern rebuilt shape.
I think she deserved it. :smiling3:

Regards.

Yes absolutely. Very good to see my old tank in this new reworked shape. I think the lot of work was worth it.
