Hi!

I´m currently building Tamiya´s JSU-152 and would like to place some ammo on top of the engine deck. However I´m not really sure which ammo to buy.

I have found these very brass projectils but I´m not sure if they are the correct?

Does anyone here know if I can use these?

That looks like standard ammo for the JSU-152, but don't quote me on that.

Hi Jesper

Sorry I can't really help you with your question (even though I guess they look to be OK), but here's another option :


Frenchy

Hussar also makes some nice 152mm ammo, but I don't think it would be useful for your purposes. That MiniArt set that Frenchy posted is pretty nice and should provide you with everything you need.

I'd have to agree with frenchy, the miniart set is just the thing you need.

Both options are good.
Miniart set has the boxes too.

Let us see the finished work !

Thanks guys! I think I will get both the sets and combine them. I also have sent RB models an e-mail to get some more info on their brass set.




I´ll do that when it´s finished . Here are some WIP-pics of my build:

Perhaps the world´s smallest balalaika?

Some of the stuff I´m going to put on and around thte beast



I made homemade cobbelstones of styrofoam. It was really labour intensive but I think the result is quite nice.



Weathering test of cobble stones. Next up is the weathering of the tank. It´s going to be fun

Good work Jasper!!!
Love the layout...
My vote goes to Miniart kit mentioned above: cheap, precise, excellent detail in the crates (provides even the stencils for both boxes, and projectiles). I've used it, and I'm totally satisfied by it...
But I have one question, about the total lack of the fuel drums. Did you see it in a picture? because, I'm under the opinion, that the total omission, of all four fuel drums, is not correct...
The tank it self had very small inboard fuel cells, and needed the external fuel drums to be able to fully operate...

This is looking GOOD!!

BTW, I really want that Voyager set

Outstanding job so far

Thanks guys! I´m glade you like my work so far

Regarding the ammo I got an e-mail from RB models which said that the brass set is the correct ammo for the JSU-152.

@ Orpant: Thanks for the info regarding the fuel drums. I´m planning to use one of the original fuel drums and one captured german fuel drum(the one in the picture). I guess my combo would contain as much fuel as 2,5 to 3 of the original barrels, so it would problably be enough to go for a reasonable long ride From the pictures I´ve got it´s seems like the ISU seldom had all "slots" filled with fuel drums so it seems quite accurate to me.

@ vonHengest: The Voyager set is nice and contains a lot of bits and pieces. I don´t think you will be disappointed if you buy one One thing though: Even though the photo on the box include the fenders, they are not included in the "basic" set. So if you want them you have to buy the extra fender set.

Great work Jesper !!

the tank, the extras, the balalaika, very impressive work !
