SU-152 – Photo gallery

It took to me two years to finish this SU-152 model, since I worked on it during long holidays. Here’s its photo gallery!

Versione italiana

This is the tenth model I completed, and it shows a SU-152 self-propelled artillery vehicle, in service under the Soviet Red Army during the Second World War. I built it from August 2013 to January 2015.

SU-152 – Weathering and details

The large and flat surfaces of this SU-152 model allow to experiment several interesting techniques of weathering.

I can work on this model only few weeks a year, but everytime I add always something new to it! This time I "weather" it in order to give it a more realistic look and I paint some additional details.

SU-152 – Painting

The flat green camouflage of this SU-152 allows me to try different painting techniques with both the airbrush and the paintbrush.

The Soviet WW2 tank camo are painted almost always with an uniform (and boring!) green. However, it's quite easy to vary a bit its color and to give our model more "life".

SU-152 – Assembling

When assembling this SU-152 kit, I paid particular attention to several details, like the weld seams of the armor plates.

The idea of building a Soviet WW2 "bad guy" had been in my mind for a while. Then I found this SU-152 kit on a shelf in a model shop and I bought it immediately!
