Tamiya 1/35 JSU-152 with Flakvierling

Update!

Another tank. Yep. But this time along with a flak cannon.



It's the JSU-152 and a 20mm Flakvierling. So what was the inspiration? Actually I suggested to my client the color gray. Originally it was colored green, but I thought gray would be awesome and more solid. He wanted to know if the flak cannon can be mounted to the back of the JSU, and seeing that the tank had quite a space behind...the answer was yes. But I didn't glue it so it will never come off, no...I just propped the guns on it's stand so it can be removed anytime...

So, following the schematics of my client...it's a pretty simple styling. Pre-shades and some wash on the creases. Not to mention connecting parts to the hatch, just to show a little wear and tear. My client didn't want anything heavy...just a nice looking tank with little weathering.

So here it is.

  2. Dragon's JSU-152s are better kits than Tamiya because of the individual 'magic' track pieces, the significance is that individual tracks provide more authentic track placements.

  3. Your paint job is awesome as usual man !
    I love the machine gun's finish (metal effect). Any reference for a good website for noobs about air brush's techniques ?
