Yet another 1:48 project finished: Tamiya JS-2 heavy tank

I put a lot of extra effort into adding details that weren't part of the original kit. Rougher weld beads added, handles added to external gas tanks, periscope added to commander's hatch, scratched tow cable on rear deck as well as other bits and pieces of plastic added throughout. More weathering to come but it's basically 95% done.

Thanks Gil. I painted the striping, not the numerals. I opted for a "sloppier" look instead of the nice, straight lines provided by the Tamiya decals. I absolutely fell in love with the Mr. Softer/Mr. Setter line of decal setting solutions. Works much better with the thicker decals a'la Tamiya, Hasegawa.

John,

Yes, the stripes were hand painted with a wide, flat brush. Just like the real thing.
