I thought I would share a couple works in progress that likely will not be done any time soon, I have a horrible habit of starting many at a time not finishing just one in a timely manner...but that's another story.

I have converted both a Trumpeter KV-1 1942 Heavy Cast into a KV-9 using the Eastern Express mantlet and adding a turned aluminum U-11 122mm howitzer barrel from Model Point. Some shaving and fitting was necessary and I hope it looks decent at least.

The other is a Tamiya ISU-152 converted into a ISU-122 by replacing and modifying the gun mount with a CMK A-19 aluminum barrel. I kept shaving the mount till I could get the barrel to be alittle more flush with the mantlet, also ended up filing a line through the end of the aluminum barrel then making a tab from strip styrene to seat it better while the super glue dried in place.

Hope things look ok, feel free to comment if you feel to.

Looks good!

You have done a fine job. Looks good. Thinking about it, too.
