Hi guys!
Some time ago my friend artoor_k show me this forum and I have finally decided to post here :)
My name is Bartek, Im from Poland and i like to build, scratch build or rebuild sci-fi models, but usually got problems with finishing them
Mentioned in topic IS-3 is some old Russian plastic model from early 80's and is really in 1:30, but that's not a problem here.
As I have learned from internet, Heavy Tank from orginal C&C RA suppoused to looks like double bareled T-80 but in my opinion that's just dosen't fit well to time episode in which game takes place (as I remember 1964). That's why i thought that IS-3 will be perfect for this purpose. Especially in this scale - crew and additional equipment will be in 1:35, so finished model should be preety huge in comparewith other 1:35 tanks.
Here, is some size comparison with my other project (Mk.II Fallout Tactics tank) and present state of work:
here are other photos of model, including inbox:

two barrels from
AS-90And last thing, sorry for my english, it's been some time since I last write something in this language.
