The SU-100 is a Soviet tank destroyer armed with the D-10S 100 mm anti-tank gun in a casemate superstructure. It was used extensively during the last year of World War II and saw service for many years afterwards with the armies of Soviet allies around the world.

Tamiya 1/35 scale SU-100
11th Guards Mechanized Corps
Hungary, 1945
(Yes, this one was done rather fast. I started it yesterday afternoon right after I finished the Do.17. But this was a super simple kit. It’s a re-release of the Tamiya SU-100 kit from the mid 60s. I think total assembly time was less than an hour. I had that done by 5 PM yesterday. All I had to do today was painting and weathering.)

Thanks. I was a bit disappointed when I opened this kit yesterday and saw how rudimentary it is. There wasn’t much to it at all. But it’s a kit originally released in the 1960s so I shouldn’t be surprised.

Thanks. I was going for the look of a vehicle that had been whitewashed at the start of winter 1944 and now it’s late winter/early spring 1945 and it’s just about lost all of its winter camo during the previous months of fighting across Western Ukraine, southern Poland, and now Hungary.

Man that is awesome! Winter camo? Wasn’t aware the Russians did that. I know the Germans did

"Killer" paint scheme. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you & your family.

Thanks and yes, it’s the remnants of a field applied winter camouflage scheme. All sides applied winter camouflage, usually at the unit level where crews would take common whitewash and apply it to their vehicles. There really wasn’t any set pattern, just whatever the unit commander, or even individual crews decided to do. These camo jobs though were not permanent and would start wearing off over the winter.
