Hello

Great Job!, I like it.
One thing, as some guru remarks me, I bend too some of the large grips in the sides, he notes, that this damage only can be done with a heavy "impact" of something, and I need to add more damage around it.

You did a very nice job on this weatherbeaten behemoth. I never pass up a chance to see someone's take on this Soviet juggernaut.

Great work! And I really love this Tamiya kit, it's very well engineered and fun to build.
I second the comment about the bent grab handles, they were really heavy duty and it took a hefty impact to damage them. I was also curious about streaking. Did you apply any time of streaking during your weathering process? If you did the effect may be a little on the lite side. Either way, if you did or didn't add streaking, this build would benefit from some heavy vertical streaking from areas such as brackets and bolt heads. I think that's probably the only thing that would add an extra dimension to your already excellently finished JSU-152. That's just my personal preference of course, but it is what I often see on moderately to heavily weathered vehicles in real life.

Hi
Great job you have done there, one question did you have any issues fitting the gun mantlet, when I built mine I had to hack a large section off to get the mantlet to fit properly. With mine the bit you see just under the barrel was also molded in the bit the mantlet fits over, so the mantlet stuck out about 15mm to far before I hack the extra bit off, did you have this problem as well or have they corrected to problem now.
