JS3 Hovertank

Knocking the dust from the modeling bench..........

1/72 Trumpeter JS3m turret on some sort of anime hoverbike thingie that Rotorhead TX gave me. Barrel extended a bit, Model Master RAF dark green with a dry brushed lighter green that the pics really don't capture well, out of scale sprue antenna (but I like the look) and two red stars from the bin that fell apart after applying Sol, but managed to piece somewhat back together.

It looks great! I think it was called the JS3 "воздушный хоккей" due to the way it reacted after firing the gun.
