Through the snow towards Leningrad - SU-122


Recommended Posts

This was my project for the T-34 STGB. The GB is still going on so, if you are a fan of WW2 Russian armour, it's well worth checking out.

 

I had intended to do a much bigger scene but I haven't had as much time for modelling over the past few months as I would have liked.

 

Kit: Tamiya 1/48

Paints: Humbrol, Revell, Citadel, Vallejo and Railmatch acrylic paints all applied by brush

Extras: Vallejo Mud and Snow products, Tamiya figures, Tamiya Road Signs, Redog Resin Stowage, Aluminium foil, string, MDF, mounting board card, filler, Wilkos picture frame, Army painter tufts, twigs and fuse wire.

The WIP can be found: HERE

The RFI photos of the SU-122 itself can be found: HERE

 

This first set of photos were taken with it in front of the sky background on my Spitfire display base:

Big thanks must go to @SleeperService for a great GB and also to everyone who contributed to my build thread. Without everyone's input this project wouldn't be what it is. Thank you.

 

Kind regards,

Beauty. Wouldn't have believed it was 48th scale. The upper shots with the background work really well.

Hi Tim. Thank you very much for your kind comments. Tamiya's 1/48 kits are very well detailed.

Kind regards,

Stix

Not often I'll wander down here to the diorama section but so glad I did, this is brilliant!

As has been said, hard to believe its 1/48th. 

Hard to pick out any items inparticular, the winter finish, the mud,  the figures, the base....photography. 

Superb!

 

Great work

Hi Stix,

 

This (as usual) is wonderful!! I've not seen a lot a lot of your builds lately so hoping all is OK?!?! Hopefully just me and my inability to navigate the BM site correctly.

 

Cheers
