One of the Clash of Steel Starter Sets have been on my wants list ever since I found out about them at the beginning of the year. I ordered Operation Unthinkable boxed set containing the British and German tanks.
I decided I would add to the game by ordering the other Operation Unthinkable set, which contains American and Soviet tanks. There are three IS-3 tanks included in the boxed set.
This is the GF9 finished model.
The IS-3 is a Soviet heavy tank developed in late 1944. Its semi-hemispherical cast turret (resembling that of an upturned soup bowl) became the hallmark of post-war Soviet tanks.
I had already constructed two of the IS-3 tanks, so it was a relatively easy process of constructing another one. This one I added a commander figure to the cupola on the turret.

The next stage was a white undercoat.
One thought on “Building one more IS-3 tank”
