Been a while on this, but it’s still technically not a completed build thread.
I simply forgot all about it.
At a recent show, this one was put to proper testing .
Ran like a Swiss watch but with Russian internals!!
A few poor connections which once were sorted ,never resurfaced.
Taigen V3 system & a good speaker worked well and certainly made an impression.
Mr Gunners supplied Stalin image made a start, but as I was undecided on which to use, and did not properly secure to the hull either of them , I lost one :/
It’s in the car park somewhere!

Sorry to break it to you Jee, but those are not the same vehicles. Those are ISUs and not SUs. The SU-152 is based on the KV-1 chassis while the ISU-152 is based on the IS-2 chassis. Besides the chassis differences the ISU is taller than the SU counterpart. Finding a walk around of the SU-152 is much harder than finding one of the ISU-152 as the SU-152 was replaced by the ISU-152. As far as I know there are only three surviving SU-152s:

First SU-152 – Lubuskie Military Museum, Drzonów (Poland)
Serial number 30351 (?ukasz Sambor)

Second SU-152 – Lubuskie Military Museum, Drzonów (Poland)
Serial number 30954 (?ukasz Sambor)

SU-152 – Kubinka Tank Museum (Russia)

Ow damn, so much to learn about all those tanks :D
Don't worry, thanks for clarifying it to me :thumbup:

I am planning a visit to Kubinka (this year or next year) anyway so then I will take some photos there.

We all learn from each other around here. :) Only reason I know so much about the SU-152 is I've also built one and mine runs really well also. ;D

Great deatil with Stalin picture (although a looted German painting would be more likely presest) ;)

As its supposed to be an early version 152 and they were not in Germany yet, Stalins my guy !!
The Taigen JS2 that I have waiting in the queue of projects might have a looted German artwork, a Piano and other stuff on it !!
Still undecided.
