Dear fellow Britmodellers,
here's my 1/72 Zvezda ISU-152 assault gun, built from the box.
Painted with Gunze acrylics, weathered with pastel chalks and artist's oils.
The kit has nice details, but unfortunately, the tracks are too short to represent the characteristic 'sagging' on the upper rollers.
In fact the tracks are so tight you'll hardly get them to fix if you painted the wheels/tracks seperately.
On my first attempt I applied too much pressure and broke both the idler wheel and the tracks themselves.
These had to be replaced with parts from another Zvezda kit (the ISU-122, which has the same chassis).

Thanks for your interest, with best greetings from Vienna
