Ebay has it. I'm interested in it. But the gun, 7.62mm DT, I can't find any update sets for it.

Does anyone know of any sets of equipment for WWii Russian vechicles? I bought tamiya's 1/48 BA-64B and won't to detail it.

Hauler probably does the best (maybe the only?) sets for the Tamiya SU-122, although Eduard probably does a set as well. They also do an engine set too.

Hauler also does a set of fuel tanks for the T-34/SU-122

German Armour

Hi all, I just bought tamiya's 1/48 Su-122 #32527. Any idea's or comments?

 

and a build review here: http://modelingmadness.com/review/misc/vehicles/tmc/tmcsu122.htm

So what would be the closest match straight out of the bottle. I've read that it was never standardized, unless I've sniffed a bit too much glue.

Johan, thanks for the link(s). Good info in there. And yes, 4BO is a lot like OD.

I loved the Tamiya 1/35 IS-152 A very big canvas for your techniques 

 

Hi German Armour,
Interesting approach, buy a jug of paint and find a random vehicle that could have been painted in that colour.

Check out this link:
http://www.4bogreen.com/colors

My advice would be to make up your mind on what you want to build first, then find a local supplier, or go to any of the online shops.

The link suggest that all Russian armor were painted in 4B0 Protecive Green during WWII.
I have found nothing that would withsay that.
That does not mean the vehicles where the same color.

Plenty of suggestions in this thread, go wild :)

My suggestion would be a KV1 from Trumpeter, a T34 from Dragon or the newly released SU-76M from Tamiya.

Good luck with the Valleyo set, and please post your results!

4B0 is allmost as exiting as OD ;)

Best Regards
Johan

I'm not sure there are any really bad kits of the T-34 unless you go with some ancient Eastern European or Russian kit like Eastern Express. The old Tamiya kit is so-so if you fill in the battery and motor mounting holes. 

The Dragon T-34s are really good. I have the AFV Club kit and though I haven't built it, it sure looks good in the box. And DantheMan85 here built the recent Academy kit and didn't seem to have any issues with it.

Trumpeter 1/35 KV family... 

 

Second Trumpy's KV line. Strange that Dragon hasn't put one out yet. Hopefully Tamiya continues up-sizing their 1/48 line into 1/35.

Trumpeter 1/35 KV family... 

In 1/48, you have the Hobby Boss range of T-34's, which have full interiors. 400 or so parts (T-34/85) building a model about the size of 2 decks of cards.

Hobby Boss also has a range of KV-1's & 2's in 1/48, but these don't have interiors.

I don't have the number,but AFV Club has a really nice T-34/85 with an interior,not the one with the see thru hull.It might be 35145

Also Dragon 6266 comes with bedspring armor

And as I mentioned the Tamiya ISU-152 is steller

Just for trying a paint modulation set on a Russian Armor kit, go with Tamiya at both scales. To add to what Rob suggested, the older Tamiya 1/35 Russian WWII era kits are very affordable and you can build them up quick. This way you can get right to the painting stage.

In 1/48th, probably Tamiya's JS2 Stalin tank. In 1/35th, the realm is too wide open and you'd need to narrow it down to specific type like KV, T-34, JS.
