Thanks. On some parts I use BCG (Brand Clear Glue) to form them. All turret was treated with Moment super glue. I am planning to paint this tank in Egypt colors, so also I will prime it after assembly.

Hello!

I've started to build soviet tank from Maly Modelarz. Also I will use tracks and wheels from Draf Model laser cu parts. Also I want to make this MM IS-3 to IS-3M and that will require some modifications of turret and body.

Hello, Zaphod.

Thank You for comment.
Rivets were made using white wood glue. I just put some glue dots where rivets had to be. Result is ok :).

There is about 2000 rivets on this model, so I decided to use more fast and easy way to make them.
