Very nice work!!!  Always dig its llooonnnggg barrel.  It looks longer than the tank itself?

Very nice Anthony. I like the understated weathering. Kind of refreshing seeing a Russian tank not all beat up. I like your work on the tracks.

WOW tojo  just seen that silver barrel in the 1st pic. man i'm losing it. thanks for letting me know.

Marc ,Gamera,and Bill,thanks for the advice,thats easy,I can tone down the spare tracks a bit.I'm glad the greens came out okay-I used oil dots for only the second time,and wasn't so sure.

Clay,thanks,it's a turned metal barrel from JB cost about $8.00 total

OMG tojo72 that's outstanding is that barrel slide molded or spilt down the middle?? again VERY COOL.

Clay

Looks real nice.  Love the tonal variations in the green.  Agree with the rust being a bit stark.

Nice work Anthony! Looks like she's really to kick some fascist butts!

Looks good from here! The only small suggestion I would make would be to tone down the rust effects a little bit on the front spare track run and the grousers on the fender. On my monitor at least they appear a bright orangeish color.

All Finished today,I guess it came okay.Painted with Tamiya paints,weathered with some Mig products,AK stuff,and some oils.The only thing I added was the metal barrel by JB.All in all it is a good Dragon starter kit if you have never built a Dragon before.Thanks for looking,and the nice words of encouragement,and I am open to any critique.

I do have a nice figure set I might add to it.

I agree Ben,friuls do look fantastic and I have used them,but the big price bump recently got me off of them.I cant get them for less then $ 40.00 + shipping !! maybe for a special project,but I have been using the Magic tracks which can be tricky and the DS tracks whick are okay.I mean friuls double the cost of a kit!!!

Anthony

Hey Tojo,

I've used Magics many times but wasn't so keen on these? Perhaps I was having a bad day.

I must practice with them more and stop buying Friuls! The thing is the Friuls are so easy and look so damn good I'm sold on them! I've got quite a few sets upstairs in my room now.

Ben,if your going to learn magic tracks for the first time,any T-34 variant is probably the easiest to do them on,they slide in right over the road wheels and around the sprockets with ease

Ben,thanks for the comments,You were the one that E-mailed me that article !!

Ben

Brian,I used Mig Productions,Tan for German Tri-Color Camo,I suppose any light brown or tan will do

A while ago someone on this forum,I can't remember who recommended that green,and I since have used it for my JSU-152 and my T-34 and I like the way it looks

That color looks good for a Russian Green.  Can you tell me what colors you used for filtering?

Thanks Brian,I used Tamiya NATO Green

Man that barrel is insane. Reminds me of that German E-???

Tojo, this looks great!  Was wondering if you could tell what what you used for the basecoat?

This is great - looking good!

I had that same magazine article when I built mine (well, started it - it remains far from finished)!

Glad I got you interested in trying the build.

Thanks for the words and encouragement,some more weathering this week

Moving pretty fast on this one, looking good so far!

Like the color.  Looks real nice. Gonna be sweet when all done.

Looking nice!

I've got one of these in my stash; might be my next tank project.

Some more progress:assembled except for small parts,filtered and lightly weathered,still needs more work:

Tojo seeing as that the SU100 started out as  a T34/76/85 the hull and suspension boxes are leftovers from the Dragon kit. I do have a JSU122 too bad they don't make some AM interiors for the Soviet Tank Destroyers.

Here's one I started on.Ben got me interested when he started his blog a few months ago,so I had to go and get one.It really is a great kit to build.It has a nice bit of PE,damaged fenders and fuel tanks,and Magic Tracks.No issues so far,all I added was an RB barrel I got on ebay for about $5.00 it is really nice and even has rifleing inside the barrel.All major assembly is completed,Magic Tracks assembled,and it has a coat of primer:

 

Thanks for looking

I'll be watching this one.  I like this bad boy and will just have to build on some day.

Not me . Wrong thread maybe ?

Thanks guys,

The suspension is not working,it is fixed

No interior provided nor did I add one

Went away for weekend,more next week !!!
