ISU 122 Zvezda 1/35 scale

[hansolo]

Hi guys,

Before participating in the 6 wheels or more group build I built and partly painted a Zvezda ISU 122.
And finished painting it in between activities.
I bought it cheap at a scale model event. I thought about buying one for a while and this was my chance.
Zvezda is not the best brand and there were some fit issues, but I got it together and the painting was
good old fun as ever.

To dress her up a bit I bought this kit of soldiers:



I left out the commander cause he didn't go well with my setup.
To make the rest fit I had to make some adjustments. Rip off a few arms and replace them with other arms.
After those tweaks they looked like they belonged where they were.

Here's a picture from before adjusting:



After adjusting:



In the and I took away the gun of the guy in the middle and gave him a flag. Bet he didn't like that!
But I made a real patriot out of him.

Than came the painting of the ISU:





I loved the striping that I saw on some ISU's and copied that:





And now the finished model:



































That's it folks.

cheers

Great work that not an armor modeller but I can recognise talent

Another one of your amazing builds Han, the chain on the rear plate is brilliant, and the red flag was better than a gun even if the soldier doesn't agree.
very enjoyable build and some really nic touches

Awesome work! I really like the chipping on the vehicle markings and the tank riders, of course

[hansolo]

Great job, Han!
The flag is a nice touch!

The chipping on the markings were done with a sanding stick.
They are decals that would brake away in large peaces if done with a wet brush and the hairspray desolving.
This way I can keep the chips small.

You're on fire Han!!! I haven't seen you build so much so fast before.
You're spoiling us.
This is another wonderful piece bud. Gorgeous!!!
