Title: JS3 Hovertank
Post by: Scooterman on January 04, 2014, 11:20:05 AM

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 (https://www.google.com/search?q=%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%B4%D1%83%D1%88%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9+%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B9&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=g8DJUrPjEIbS2AXAt4CgAw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1872&bih=1049)" due to the way it reacted after firing the gun.
