I’ve been working on the prototype JS-5 too.

Gave a light wash on top & lower hull. Added the wheels.
Just need to finish up the tracks

But, are the tracks workable? Are they from Trumpeter’s kit?

Hi Massimo,

They are from Trumpeter’s kit yes.
Single link tracks,they need to be cleaned up but they fit quite well.

Are they glued in the photos?

Some links are, but most of them no.
They fit quite well, but some required a little drop of glue

Back to the JS-5, hull…done.Turret…done.

This being a prototype, only 2 or 3 were made, no dirt,no mud,no barracks, no training… So I guess this one is finished !!!
