ISU-152 Heavy Assault Gun — 1,305-Piece Military Project

Assemble a stunningly detailed 1,305-piece replica of the iconic ISU-152, featuring a complete interior and multiple working functions.

WHY THIS BUILD IS EPIC

This ISU-152 project blurs the line between construction sets and professional scale modelling. It’s a build for serious enthusiasts who demand uncompromising detail inside and out, moving beyond simple exterior shells to deliver a complete, authentic replica of this legendary machine.

Engineered for builders who appreciate historical accuracy, every section reveals another layer of mechanical realism. The result is a substantial, collector-grade centrepiece that captures the raw presence of the original armoured beast.

THE BUILD

You are building a definitive replica of the ISU-152 heavy self-propelled gun. The project faithfully recreates the iconic, bulky casemate design and sloped armour silhouette, finished in an authentic military matte grey with weathered hull markings for a battlefield-worn look.

Beyond the impressive exterior—which includes rear external fuel tanks, detailed track links, and a roof-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun—lies the real prize. The entire upper hull can be removed to reveal a fully realised internal layout, from the intricate engine assembly and crew compartment to the gun breech and neatly arranged ammunition storage.

BUILD EXPERIENCE

The build process is methodical and rewarding, adopting a modular, layered structure that lets you explore the vehicle’s architecture step-by-step. You'll construct the track assemblies and lower hull, then the engine and internal framework, before moving on to the upper casemate and main gun. This design not only provides a satisfying assembly flow but also makes showcasing the incredible interior detail effortless.

DETAILS WORTH BUILDING

• Fully realised interior with a detailed engine bay, gun breech mechanism, and internal ammunition racks.
• The 152mm main gun barrel elevates to simulate different firing angles.
• A roof-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun rotates 360° and pivots for aiming.
• Multiple casemate and hull hatches can be opened to display the interior structure.
• Functional linked track system rolls smoothly with the detailed road wheel assemblies.

THE FINISHED RESULT

Once complete, this isn't just a model; it's a piece of armoured history for your shelf. Its robust construction and premium finish make for a standout display piece that demands closer inspection. The ability to remove the upper hull and reveal the complete interior turns it from a static model into a fascinating technical showcase for any armour collection.

GOOD TO KNOW

• This is a static display model with no motors.
