Shawn; nice work. It looks plausible and convincing. I like the non-penetrating hit on the upper right glacis. Your finish and weathering is excellent!

Sorry, not being a picky butt, but that's a JSU-122 barrel...122mm. Sorry!

Now you had me checking what Shawn wrote in his email, but he definitely wrote 152... Thing is, the kit he used is boxed as a 152 but it also contains parts to make a couple of 122 variants as well, hence the 3-in-1 tag, so it seems perhaps that's where the confusion may lie.

If Shawn wants I guess we can edit the feature - unless swapping the barrels over is an option...

Im sorry for the confusion, it is a 122mm barrel that came in the JSU-152 kit. The barrel and mantlet were available to make the JSU-122M variant.

Amended the feature, though personally I can't amend this forum thread title however.

Well, getting back to the model... I like it. A perfect "What If" for a period in time that could have happened had the war gone on further.

AND, it's a Sturmtiger chassis so I'm on board anyway.

I really like this. I love the Paper Panzers and the What If's. Nicely done.
