With my SU-152 there were some details that I fixed and others I deemed too much of a PITA to fix so they got left. I guess I was getting tired of not finishing projects. I've seen a lot of tanks with little issues in accuracy and they don't affect the overall look of the model so I think they are acceptable for me. I guess that's why my Abrams has gone so long without being finished. I'm getting to the point on that tank that I will just accept it's faults and finish it.

Hì,

they do it complete with barrel movements, complete with servos and hull coverage is complete.
Description:
"Designed for installation on Taigen or HengLong KV-1 chassis (with chassis modification)
.
The set is made using factory drawings and measurements from a real car. The external parts are made of injection molded plastic. A rollback-lifting-cross member mechanism is installed on the servos.
Delivery includes only the top cover, without frame.
Kits are in stock and can be ordered on a prepaid basis. Production time - 1 month after receiving the payment.
You can also order immediately with installation on your or our frame.
For international travelers:
designed for installation on KV-1 Taigen or HengLong chassis (requires chassis modification)
The set is made using factory drawings and measurements from a real machine, the upper body of the hull is made of ABS plastic (3D printed), metal handrail. The external elements are made of injection molded plastic. The Recoil-lift-traverse mechanism is installed on the servo machines.
Delivery package includes top cover only, without frame.
Kits are available and can be ordered with prepayment. The production period is 1 month after receipt of payment.

Once the elephant is finished it will be the turn of a KV-1 Taigen to be transformed into SU-152.
I started ordering ideas and the Russian product really tempts me.
Has anyone ever tried it?

I wrote asking for confirmation on the price, € 295 including servos.
The Juckenburg kit costs 150 euros, but the barrel handling system must be built.
The gun is partly metal and partly plastic, they wrote to me. So the barrel will be in metal and the muzzle in plastic.

And honestly the Juckenburg kit has a lot of problems with the details. Atems version is much better detailed.

it looks very well done. But between shipments and 5% of PayPal you get to 380 €. Then there are VAT & customs. It costs a lot......

A good and high-quality product cannot be cheap. In this set I use 3D ABS printing, cast resin parts, metal soldered parts., milled polystyrene parts. 4 different types of bolts. The assembly of this kit takes about 40 hours. And most importantly, I made this project using factory drawings and measurements of a real SU-152. Preparing the taigen chassis to install the kit requires 30 minutes of time.
