Pat McGrath provides us with a walk around of the ISU-152 that were taken at parola Tank Museum. The only caveat I would make about using these photos to detail a model 152 is that I don''t know what modiifications the Finns added.

Thanks for putting this up Darren.
If anyone ever visits Finland then make sure you visit Parola. It's well worth a visit.

Thats an SU-152 with some interesting Finnish additions. The Engine intake screens had added louvres, the fenders aren't original and theres a tow bracket oon the rear plate. Very nice pictures though - I find it interesting that all the AM companiues forgot the muzzle brake nut (I think Its Orange Hooby that got it right).

It used to have spiffy exhaust mufflers too. I scanned these from some prints I had taken on my first visit to Parola. They took them off a couple years ago for closer accuracy for a movie or documentary appearance I recall.
