RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

I finally finished my IS. The designer of this tank is Lubosh and you can find it on cults3d. Although a good design, i changed a lot of things to suit my likings more:

Added bushings to suspension arms axles
Added 2 visatons in an enclosure
Added a huge custom made smoker
Changed the elevation mechanism
Will change the 3d printed gearboxes to chain and sprocket
Switched to d25t
And a lot more that i dont remember. If you have an instagram account,there are a lot more there @thekreator87.

Looks like a beast! I really like your paint job and photography. Thanks for sharing that with us.

That looks superb, very well done.

I'm green with envy! If it's big and Russian you can't go wrong in my book and that's a really nicely finished model.

Thank you very much! I wanted to do a little more weathering,but the surface of the model made it extremely difficult. I deliberately applied primer with a brush and left it unsanded to kinda simulate the rough surface and the "no time for paint finishing" of the time.

Thank you very much! I am a fun of heavy tanks myself. On to the next one now!

If you guys want a running video,let me know

Very nice, I did a JS3 a couple of years ago and know what you mean about the surface. I used surface filler and sanding to get the best I could, and like you, a bit of weathering to cover the rest.
