The Iosif (Josif) Stalin 3 (IS-3 or JS-3 and IS-3M variant) will be my build. It's hemispherical turret and crazy hull lines are iconicly Russian/Soviet. It really shocked the world with its debut. I think it has very aestheticly pleasing lines as well. Many might disagree with me on that point. Though difficult to model I imagine an Abrams or its peers might be equally if not more difficult and I just don't like the way most of them look. Mike B
