"Soviet Steamoller" ISU 152

[grumpa]

I do like that Jim! No-one would fancy looking down the business end of that cannon!

Thank you Patrick,these were used in great numbers to batter buildings in the battle for Berlin at point blank range, wouldn't want to look out the window and see that aiming at you for sure!

And to knock out Tigers, Panthers & Elefants - hence the nickname Zveroboy or Beast Killer!


The benefits of research I did for the SU 152 I built a while ago!

Very observant of you Patrick, you do keep me on the ball historically wise The Russians are known for their no-nonsense brutality and the ISU152 is a perfect example of that. Next up will be either a BT5 or a T55, both in the works. Would like very much to see your version of ISU152 is it on the site?............Jim

The T-55 will be an interesting one! I've got my eye on a SU 85 on eBay - either that or a KV 2.


This is the completed thread for my SU 152

The "beast from the east"!!


Open up wide now........aaaahhhh!!


I'm not sure that there is anything current that will withstand a gentle tap from that beasty, let alone WW2 heavy tanks!


I like it, it looks the business!!

Thanks Gavin, one drawback they did have was that the ammo was so large that each vehicle could carry I believ only 18 or so rounds so each needed its own ammo carrierops:

18 or so rounds

OK, that ain't much, but with a gun that big all you need is 1 hit.......

Awesome work Jim really liking the damage and paintwork on this one and the simple but so effective base really sets it off great job

[Guest]

A really neat build mate. The rust weathering looks superb

Thank you Steve, just about getting my technique honed to where I want it, I'm afraid it 's quite old school but many years of practice seem to be paying off a bit I hope..........Jim
