SU-100

Alex CB Does anybody know what the big box at the back, between exhaust pipes, is? (foto nr.5 of 'construction' album)

Robber Penguin It is a stove for warming up the engine and heating the crew at night: https://zen.yandex.ru/media/..tam-5c42e158ac3f2c00aefc3e12

Alex CB ooohhh I see. thank you very much sir.

Robber Penguin Now what decals to choose?

Christopher Mullins I like the way this turned out, I really wanted to do it with some yellow but couldn't find any yellow that looked right for it, that is without spending 6 or 7 Euro on a bottle of paint. Wish I had a bigger budget for my projects sometimes, but I do what I can.

Peter Jong Very nicely done, great job. Wish I had those skills.
Just what Barry said, hard to believe it's plastic.

Sven Heimroth Thanks. I realized a little bit to late, that the tracks have also to be mounted. Now it's gonna be a funny job to do the painting and weathering.

Choppa Nutta good work !!

Matthias Weiss Really great work, I like it!

Kerry COX The effects of sub zero temperatures on paint has been beautifully captured here. And the relaxed stance of the soldier with his ski's says it all as to how comfortable the Russians are when the snow falls. Just superb.

Vorya hidaryan Amazing!

Gábor Bélik Great weathering!

Christian Meyerhoff Exellent!

Wayne Hale Looks good so far. I would go ahead and paint it.

Fabian D. bad kits are alwas a callenge, but good news is, you can only make them better ... and that´s what you did... looking forward to see some paint

Alberto Bianchi Thanks, I try to paint over the weekend. I hope well, I do not have much skill with the color green.

43 Rascarcapaco i follow this one!

Hunter Cummins Any updates???

Alberto Bianchi Hello,
Yes, I have to apply a bit of mud and pigments (that I can not apply as I would like). In this period I have dedicated myself to the other two projects, one is a M40 75/18 (I posted some pictures of the M40, you can see ol SU 10). I think to finish the SU 100 very soon. Thank you

M.Julian Marles Looks pretty good! I think this is Italeri's rebox of the Zvezda kit which in turn is the old Eastern Express kit ?

Alberto Bianchi Thanks Julian,
when I watched the box contents, I thought of "throwing"... But it did not come evil. It was fun and the kit does not cost much. I used some parts of Dragon kit, "Tulle" for make a engine grid, cans foil for handle and some strip styrene and large square plate to fill
discrepancy of the hull. The original track link are horrible, unusable.
I think is correct the sequence of issue, if not mistake the first as a Zvezda, after Italeri and Eastern Express, but i not have certainty.

George Bacon Now that's cool! I'm in

Albi Hitz Hi George, its one from my "you should complete this one" pile ...
but an interesting 4BO Green project ...

william wise Wow!!! James that is one awesome SU i really like your modulation is this the AK set, and seeing your SU built i really need to get one it is really just a neat looking tank

james johnson yep William, mainly the AK set with some Life Color stuff thrown in there....I wanted to keep this kind of basic.....easy build except for the fit issues with the upper hull to lower hull.....

Luc B awesome work James!

Eend As always i'll follow this project

Albi Hitz Thank you Eend .... this will be a "side-project" ... (I planed to start with the Mitsubishi Zero today .... And i took the SU-100 ) ...
we will se how the Russian Green 4 BO will work in the next few weeks Its my firs russian tank ...

Eend From Zero to SU-100.. From lightweight flying 'Zippo' to a lumbering Panzers nightmare I look forward to this project

james johnson WOW Albi!! I've been trying to find this kit, I am 4BO green with envy!!
I suggest you try out the AK Interactive modulation set.....tuned in, have fun!

Frank Krause @Albi: Cool. I'll be watching!
@James: If you're looking for a Dragon SU-100, the following kit should also do it, because you have the optional parts and decals to either build an SU-85M or an SU-100. And this kit is still available, at least here in DE.

SU-85M (Dragon 6415, 1:35)

james johnson Thanks Frank! The SU 100 is going to have to wait a couple of builds because just yesterday I ordered this:JS-2 Model 1944 ChKz (Tamiya 35289, 1:35)
@ Albi; here's the URL for the 4BO Green modulation set:ak-interactive-usa.com/product-AK028.html

Albi Hitz @ Eend : lubering Panzers Nightmare its a good one ...
@James: Thanks for the hint ... I will use the Vallejo 4BO Color set (its almost the same like the AK stuff)
@ Frank thanks for your support ...
... So .. stop talking .... I have to start ....

Frank Krause Guess what...? I'm curious! When will you start on this?

james johnson ...Hi Frank; good to hear from you!
I just ordered the SU 100 yesterday and am finishing up a Mk IV??
The next build was scheduled to be an SU-122 (fresh winter white wash), but this may supersede that event.

james johnson I'm looking at the PE that's included in the kit and am wondering if its even worth purchasing ED #35211. I might try something I've been meaning to do. Purchase this toy to work on plastic fenders:amazon.com/gp/product/B0054K..sc=1&smid=A32Y7HFRF7624F

james johnson oh yeah, here's a link that show's this toy in action. Good link all and all naritafamily.com/howto/Tiger1/photo_frame.htm

james johnson Guess what? I got an email from the purveyor today (Michigan Toy Soldier; who had the kit listed as "In Stock" that not only is the kit not in stock, but probably won't be for some time.........schade....so, what next? I'm looking at a Nashorn, possibly Dragon #6314

Frank Krause What a pity! Hope, you'll have more luck with the Nashorn.

Holger Kranich Das ist doch bestimmt der Zvedakit, oder?

Gerald Willing Ja is er ,habe ich aber auch so verlinkt

Holger Kranich Ja da hab ich auch NACH dem Post drauf gesehen !
