Thank you, I will keep updatingjarndice wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2023 7:03 pm Nice work, It makes me smile when I think of a company as big as Heng Long who cannot get the location of the Turret on the Tiger1 correct but one of the forums members thinks nothing of getting it exactly right for an IS-3.
More strength to your modelling skills sir,
I shall watch your progress with great interest.

I used to work in a toy factory that produces RC cars,The workers there are very poor, working 80 hours a week, but their monthly salary is only 4500 RMB, equivalent to 600 euros。Herr Dr. Professor wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 8:53 pm "I make a living by making vehicle models." Well, your work may be the dream job for some of the wizards here on RCTW. I am impressed by what you are doing with the IS-3 here!

Geepers: at the current exchange rate of 1 to 14 cents US, a salary of ¥4500 per month is $621.26 US. As a retired professor from a state university, I get about 4 1/2 times that much between US Social Security and my pension.

Re: 1/16 IS-3
I just looked through all the STL files I downloaded from Cults and the sprocket ring that has the teeth on it that interface with the tracks is missing. I even downloaded a fresh copy of the files from Cults. This is all I have for files for the sprockets:

Re: 1/16 IS-3
Use a chamfer drill bit to chamfer several of the holes and use a file to shape the weld seam. Install the main gearbox and it looks good.

The handrails and antennas on the turret are made of brass.
