Roman Schilhart Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) 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). All photos by Wolfgang Rabel. Thanks for your interest, with best greetings from Vienna Roman Edited November 21, 2019 by Roman Schilhart typo 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro1 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Great looking ISU-152 Roman! If you plan to build another one, you can maybe use the resin tracks for the KV-1/KV-2 from OKB Grigorov. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yetifan Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 These brilliant builds that make 1/72 look like 1/35 are so cool, i’m going to have to give them a try 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If it wasn't for the photo of it sitting in your hand, it could easily be taken for a 1/35th scale model. Nice one Roman. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
