What do you guys think of my Bronco SU-152? This is one of my armor models, it still needs to be painted. But, do you see any major problems with the build and any Constructive Criticism will be much appreciated.

I think we can appraise the shot effects better after paint. It looks like a clean build, but before painting I would scrub the areas that you sanded with a toothbrush, and even add a drop of liquid cement to some of those areas.
Here are your photos:

Looks good. Nice job on the damage - just enough without crossing the line into too much.

@Robert thank you sooooooooo much for posting my photos much appreciated!
@jphillips you very much for your kind words I really think that once the tank is painted it will look really good. I also really tried to create realistic damage by taking into note that this tank didn't have supper thick armor. So, it would only bounce shells the areas that I created bounces, the manlet which always has thick armor, the side of tank due to the very high angling of the armor, and the weld seam due to the angel at which the sell would have to hit and the thickness of the other plate. As for the fenders, as with most tanks, when I found pictures of this tank in service in summer of 43' on all vehicles the fenders were either gone or very beat up.

Very clean looking build, cant wait to see it finished, the Su-152 is such a monster if a tank, I cant wait to get my hands on a kit for one
