very nice. i think it's just fine; like the shading without it being overdone. i also like how you didn't paint the road wheels. thinking like a tank crew with limited paint rather than a model builder. i built one as an egyptian SU-100. the post is in armor. agreed it's an old kit. i think the only "big" change wes cutting off the solids handles and replacing with wire.

Thanks yeah I didn't go too nuts with the wheels. Just a little drybrushing and the weathering kit. My sense is the wheels weren't always painted with the whitewash? Is this true or was it rare?
Nice model! One thing that leaps out at me is that unless the crew recently replaced the spare track links they'd probably been doused with whitewash too.
You might want to put some sag in the tracks- you can glue them to the tops of the road wheels or insert a piece of wire running out of the hull to hold them down.

Not overdone at all, in fact this would rate as a rather 'clean' or 'fresh' whitewash scheme. Nice work on it. Have to remember that the whitewash was a temporary job and done with water-soluble materials. Sometimes you see whitewash on the wheels but not often because of that fact...all depends on the circumstances and how prominent/fresh the whitewash was. The tracks/wheels would create friction, causing snow to melt, which would in turn wear the whitewash pretty quickly vs. the rest of the vehicle for instance.

Looks great. I don't know much of anything about Russian armor I didn't even know that the Russians whitewashed them but yours turned out looking great

I like it!! Nice whitewash finish on that Su-100!! Have to agree with Gamera in that the tracks on a T-34 usually sag enough to touch the roadwheels. Not a biggie, but noticeable to most WWII armor fans. One other thing: Isn't there supposed to be exhaust tubes poking out of the back, underneath the armored covers? Just wondering.....I could be wrong as I've never built an SU-100. Otherwise great job!

Wow, I think it looks great, seriously, and not "too weathered" at all. In fact, if you're going to leave the spare tracks devoid of whitewash like that, I'd dust 'em with a little bit of rust pigments.
All in all, it looks great!
