Trumpeter 01571 1/35 SU-152 Self-propelled Gun Model

The Trumpeter 1/35 SU-152 kit offers hobbyists a chance to recreate an influential World War II vehicle in accurate scale. The components are designed to reflect the mass and structure of the original howitzer while providing room for model finishing techniques.

Combat Role and Scale Faithfulness

The SU-152 served as a heavy assault platform, and this kit conveys its heavy-duty character through correctly proportioned parts and surface detail. The result is a convincing static model when assembled and painted with care.

Tips for a Clean Build

The model rewards those who work methodically: dry-fit parts before gluing, clean flash from joins, and use fine brushes or airbrushing for even paint coverage. Patience in these steps yields a crisp final model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism

Is this kit good for first time 1/35 builders?

While newcomers can attempt it, the kit has small parts and alignment steps that are easier with prior experience. Beginners should allow extra time and follow guides or build threads for tips.

Does the kit include interior details?

This is primarily an external detail kit; internal compartments are not extensively modelled. Focus is on accurate external geometry and fittings for display models.

What adhesives and putty are recommended for seams?

Use standard plastic cement for primary joins and a fine modelling putty for seam filling. Sand lightly between applications to keep panel detail sharp.
