I hand painted the ID stripe,figured it should be sloppy.

I put down the bascoat of AK-Real 4BO and decals,will be handpainting the turret ID stripe,also got a start on the figures to see which ones fit best.
As I remember the shells of the 122mm gun on that thing were so big they came in two parts- the shell and the propellent charge. So loading the thing was really slow and it could only carry a small amount of ammo. Plus the gun wasn't all that accurate.
But anything it hit would be pulverized.

Thank you Pawel,a few years ago I did a 1/48 version for a group build here,and you were very happy that I did one with Polish markings !!
All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

Man look at the gun on that thing! I'm gonna give those tracks a try too. Great clean build.

She's coming along great!!! Love how those replacement tracks look.
MR TOM SCHRY That is looking great! Are you going to do a Battle of Berlin paint scheme? I've also seen photos of these tanks with bed springs welded on to their sides to deter attack from panzerfausts. Good luck with the rest of the build. TJS

Thanks, I have done a T-34 with the bedspring, but not this one,will just have the white ID stripes hand painted.
All assembled,primed,and ready for paint
I thoroughly enjoyed building that kit a couple of years ago, well-engineered and stuff fits too. I used Spade-Ace tracks, not bad even with every other link being two pieces. Those itty bitty resin pics look intimidating.
A note on the real thing, Anthony: the big ugly texturing marks that "look" like big ugly welds on the turret and hull are actually where big ugly chunks of flash from the big ugly molds were trimmed off, using what I would image would have a big ugly torch.
"Big Ugly"..... there, I had to type it again.

I have this one in my stash also, so I'll be interested in how you will weather it. Will be watching closely.Also have the King Tiger, thought they would look good next to each other. Might need to add the Pershing also. Good luck,thanks for sharing.
Be careful of what you ask for, you just might get it.
I broke out the tracks and started to assemble a few,check out the size of the resin pins,but actually they are going together okay.
Awesome Tojo!!!
Yeah the low-slung squat look of the thing and the gigantic gun- it's the beast alright!!!!
That thing looks like an absolute beast!!
When I was able to turn off the football and get off the couch,I got some work done.Lower hull and roadwheels are all assembled,and got going on the upper hull.I tend to jump around,I will probably assemble some of the tracks next.
