Hey Guys,

Here is my fifth video in the Tamiya JS-2 build series, in this video I decided to cut of the small front fenders to simulate some damage during battle, plus I think it looks much better without them

I'm finally caught up on these Steve.
I love this thing dude... Holy moly that's a monster.
There is just so much you could do to something of that scale, and Russian tanks had soo much character.

i wish you the best of luck on this build and now if you don't mind i will be watching a stalin II tank marathon on youtube

I liked those welds Steve. That's well done dude. At 1/35 they're hard as hell to emulate, at 1/16th they're a bit easier to work on, but you have to be more detailed because they're so visible now.
