Very nice Jim very nice indeed

 

[dougie]

That is a cool build, looks great to me

 

[takeslousyphotos]

Top work Jim.....I like that a lot matey

 

[yak face]

Nice ! I love the heavy duty ,no nonsense look of Soviet stuff . The Long Tom looks mighty fine too , was that an American gun lend leased to the Russians? I ask because one of the few armour builds Ive done was of the M40 GMC and the gun looks similar , cheers tony

 

[monica]

love it Jim,once again you have done a superb job ,


the base looks great as well do like the use of the sticks,and stones,


the whole thing is nicely put together,with nice weathering on both,

 

[dubster72]

One of my hard-to-get great build gongs for you sir!


The complimentary mix of tones & highlights really brings that to life. It's got a sense of realism which is down to your clever dry-brushing technique Jim.


Looking forward to the next in the series.

 

[Polux]

Simply excellent!!


I really like it

 

[PhilJ]

Nice ruskies, very very nice.


I keep looking at a hobbyboss Russian 1/32 stormovik that my local guy has in his shop. I only have 1/48's in the stash but it does look a beauty!

 

[colin m]

Thanks Phil, these are my only 2 surviving planes left

I built both nearly 30 years ago, love the ww2 Russian fighters and tank busters, a few years back I turned down a boat load of plane models - FREE! - boy do I regret it now..............Jim:oops:

 

[grumpa]

Superb Jim, really like the look you achieve on your models and these look superb.

Thanks Steve, am doing a painting and weathering tutorial with a T55, once I get enough to start a thread going I'll post 1st installment. Will have it broken down to a few easy steps so even a newbie can start catching on...............Jim
