Georg Eyerman, Garwood, New Jersey

Georg improved Trumpeter’s 1/35 scale IS-4 with stretched sprue and solder plumbing for the fuel tanks, strip-styrene mounts for the smoke generators, and a real twig for the unditching beam. After painting with AK Interactive acrylics, he applied custom decals on the turret to model a Soviet tank on the Chinese border in the late 1950s.
