Speedy Gonzales as ever Moni! always interesting to see an older Tamiya kit being built.


Incidentally, the SU-100 was one of the few tanks feared by Tiger B crews on the Russian Front.

I read a lot of books with accounts from actual soldiers, so that gives a more personal perspective on what happened during combat. Sometimes that's more illuminating than a dry description of a battle


I've got the new Miniart SU 85 in the stash which I'm thinking of starting if I can figure the best way to display the interior detail.

Me too ... 800+ parts if I am not mistaken, and plenty of interior details, but once u put on the upper half, most if not all the details cannot be seen.

I find all your comments and added info very helpful,and dose give more of an insight into a build,and how to base it ,


I will look forward to seeing you start on the SU-85,real I think the only way you,can show the inside is by cutaways,I did see,


a kit forget by who,and it was a T34,or SU,which did have a clear hull, :/ and I know there is a Tiger as well with that ,

ta,Bob do real appreciate your comments,I find with the Tamiya kits very very fast builds,


but need to put more into added detail,and the painting and weathering of the kit,

You're thinking of the AFV Club T-34 Moni, which has the clear hull & turret. I've come up with a cunning plan for my SU 85... I'll keep the roof & one side plate separate to display the fighting compartment

[monica]

sounds like a very good plan,Patrick,I will be waiting to see this one,
