Very good looking SU there, nice and clean job...i like it...although the whole diorama would look better on a wooden stand? this one looks a bit too thin imo.....

Steve,

If that doesn't win an award at a show, you better get them to hire me as a judge! Great tank!

I like weathering to this extent. I know some armor has the dirt really pasted on to look proto, but this is tastefully done.

All they need now is a bottle of Stolichnaya. Or do they have one?

Looks good! It must be the SU-85M then, using the SU-100 superstructure ... right?

nice SU-85. perfectly executed. i agree with Jeff on his pointing out that it's an SU-85M, the cupola for one is a dead give away, though it would be a very early SU-85M because of the rounded front fenders later SU-85M's, and subsequent SU-100's had the squared off front fender's like the later T-34/85's. that aside a great model, the figures also add icing on the cake for me, wish i was have as good.
