Dragon JSU-152

[sidioust]

I have started building my Dragon JSU-152

I will be doing the Third Baltic Front camo scheme, as it is just plain green with some decals

[MarkVerploeg]

Show.us the pictures mate
It will give us a chance to see what you are up to
And if you get stuck on something it is easier for us to see what is going on
Buy good luck with the build
It is a cool kit , i made it 2 years ago
The tracks are pretty easy to assemble and the overall fit of the parts is good
Have you decided wich version you will make from this
Cheers Mark

I will make the JSU-152, it has the shortest gun wich i really like
any ideas what i could do with the remaining guns?

[sidioust]

Lets take a look at the sprues!

[sidioust]

now for the upper and lower hull.

[Schoof]

nice build .... i just finished the building stage

Ohw .... is your lower hull warped ???? mine is

[sidioust]

i dont see any problems with the lower hull, what do you mean with warped? xD

[sidioust]

As this is a 3 in 1 kit, so i get 3 guns

[sidioust]

The magic tracks and decals.

[sidioust]

And the last sprues are for the figures, you wont see them in this build as i dont have the equipment to make these.

Nice
I did that aswell got to love big calibre guns
And i tossed the remaining barrels in the bin
But you could put them in the sparesbox if you have one or start it

[sidioust]

In the spares box they go, i throw everyting in there because i can use stuff for practising

Some parts can actually be very usefull for stuff like diorama's
I have the small boxes that are on the back of a panzer IV and those can be used as a fusebox in a factory scene or things like that
So all sorts of things can be used for other things
I have the habbit to keep stuff like wheels, tyres , engines and radios

[Tiger131]

its a beast of a tank looking forward to seeing this come along

[sidioust]

I finished the lower hull, i had to use some putty in the back but i will cover that up with mud anyways,
The wheels where a lot of work but i am very pleased with the result!

[sidioust]

The upper hull and gun are assembled!
i lost the part that would hold the lamp on the front so i took a spare part, cut it to size and used that to hold the lamp.

[AchtungPanzer]

Good start mate Keep it up

[sidioust]

I am still spraying the model, as i am using a spraycan its really hard to get the paint everywhere and the inside of the wheels are still plastic colour :/ ill do my best to cover it up with weathering and mud, also i dont think those gasses were good for me, my throat hurts
Luckily my father got me a protection mask so it should be fine now

[sidioust]

I will wait with painting my model untill i have my airbrush

[MarkVerploeg]

Are you looking for one
It is a great tool to have altough it will take some getting used to
Do you know wich ab you will be getting

[sidioust]

I think i'll be getting the AB-180 Professional Precision Double Action Airbrush, around 30 pounds with a Sparmax Professional Mini Piston Airbrush Compressor, around 116 pounds. but i'm not sure yet.
if you know something better at a low cost i would like to hear

No i don't think i know any thing for that money
I have a eurotec compressor with a h&s evolution and an ultra but that will set you back a lot more
Maybe you could send Paul a pm or place a topic with that as a question
Some guys may know a good deal

[sidioust]

Hi guys! I had stopped modelling for a while (about 2 years), but i recently got interested in it again. I am now spreading the builds out over longer time periods . I am now working on a revell Pak40, after that i'll probably continue this build!

[DoubleDigit12]

Hey sidoust I have just come back from about a year of not modelling and I am back making a trumpeter t62 and it is good fun so I'm getting back into it good luck!
