Tamiya JS-2 completed
 

Hey folks, again I'm skipping to the end with this one. She's been upgraded with a brace to stiffen up the chassis and a hentec idler adjuster at the front which stiffens that up nicely. Painted with the ammo Russian green modulation set with the usual pin washes grime and mud. She's fully battle worthy and features a vampire hidden battle unit from rctankelectronics (aka tankbear).

Absolutely stunning work! Where did you mount the IR receivers? Hull or turret? Thanks for sharing.

Excellent weathering!

I have some fairly pronounced mud and paint envy right now, it really looks awesome. Someday I'll have scratched paint like that... ;)
