Hello all, this is my first post here
This is my rendition of the n. 1151 ISU 152 as it was recorded in Berlin in 1945. The kit was build without any aftermarket sets but with a lot of improvements on small details ..actually more than I expected it would take!
Tamiya provides decals for the 1151 but they they are not complete so I choose to paint them instead, besides the white recognition bands look too fake if the decals are used.
Model is painted with acrylics and weathered with oils, enamels and pigments.

Thank you Jeff!
I am not really happy with the figures but I need to get used to painting 1:35 figures as I haven't done it for long time.

Outstanding work...dimensionally accurate!! The camo flows naturally and the worn affects are just right. Well done indeed!

Thank you John. The truth is that single colour camouflages offer a good field for weathering and experimentation.
