Trumpeter 1/35 SU-152 (early)

[dubster72]

Whilst waiting for other things to dry / glue / cure / get better by magic (!), I thought I'd bring this one out of its box.

Most of the new stuff is chipping, both by hand & sponge - I'm going for a heavily weathered look.

A very elegant paint work

 

[dubster72]

Tommy, Terry, Monica, Polux, John & Si, thank you for your kind words & support. I'm actually having a love / hate relationship with this one!

But it's going better than I thought & soon it'll be on a little base with a few figures.

Thanks again!

Sorry just caught this one brilliant job (love your tip on the tracks, my first attempt was academys tiger and I swore after that one I would never do a tank with single links, then I did the skoda, which although wasn't all single links there were quite a few, and I devised a similar method to yours but know where near as good) so thanks for that. The weathering is just outstanding. Great stuff.

 

[dubster72]

Thanks Ken, and single link tracks should never be a burden - unless they're the ones on my Dragon Panther

F coz they're awful!
