ISU-152 Heavy Assault Gun — 1,305-Piece Collector's Build

Build a definitive model of the legendary ISU-152, complete with a detailed interior and functional mechanical features.

WHY THIS BUILD IS EPIC

The ISU-152 possesses a raw, distinctive presence, defined by its bulky casemate, sloped armour and formidable main gun. This brick-built interpretation captures that recognisable profile but goes deeper, revealing a detailed interior that gives serious military model enthusiasts far more to appreciate than the exterior alone.

Pairing its rugged outline with substantial inner engineering, this build is a superior display project. Showcase it fully assembled for the classic armoured silhouette, or separate the layered sections to bring the intricate interior mechanics into full view.

THE BUILD

Construction is a satisfying, layered affair. The modular structure takes you from the rolling tracks and lower hull, through the engine assembly and internal framework, right up to the upper hull and main gun assembly.

The real appeal is in seeing how every mechanical detail and component slots precisely within the armoured body, creating a dense, authentic-looking machine from the inside out.

BUILD EXPERIENCE

This is a project focused on appreciating mechanical depth. As the build progresses, you'll find opening hatches and removable hull access panels offer a closer look inside the completed sections. The entire structure is designed to split, allowing the impressive interior to be fully showcased, transforming the model from a static shape into a fascinating cutaway view of military engineering.
