Thanks for the link and tip!Matija,
You'll enjoy this, the parts go together well, and it's impressive when finished. The link and length tracks look much better, with their built in 'sag', and are easier to paint than the vinyl parts.
You might already be aware of this site 4BO Green http://www.4bogreen.com/ but it can be a useful reference to Soviet WWII tanks

I will write that down for later, thanks. Do you have an advice for the barrel?Nice kit.
When I built it I used this mix of Tamiya paints for the 4BO.
06 parts XF-61 Dark Green + 02 parts XF-49 Khaki + 02 parts XF-58 Olive Green.
Okay, thanksHi Matija,
I had to go and look up my old thread as I couldn't remember. As it turns out I used a metal barrel from RB models.
Cheers,
Bob
I wanted to get the ISU-152Matija,
The Trumpeter KV-1s are just as good! Simple builds, with well fitting parts. I've got the Trumpeter SU-152 in my stash, same running gear - I am tempted to go and dig it out........

That is nice to hear, should I deform the rear fenders too? I can't find any photos from real lifeMatiya,
you can crumple the fenders by applying heat - I've used an electric soldering iron - don't touch the plastic, just hold it close enough to soften the plastic, then press the soft bits with a metal rod, it takes a bit of time and patience - I've seen it done with a gas torch, but that is fraught with danger!
Seeing your KV has inspired me to get out my SU-152 - I'll be starting that as a blog soon
