clean build! Nice highlighting on the AA machine gun....
I was going to build a KV 1 for my next Russian piece, but this has got me thinking SU-122...There is only one SU 122 kit readily available that I can find (Tamiya) and only one PE set for that (not readily available, I located one in Asia)....my thinking is that some sort of mid to late production T-34/76 PE set should work (for the most part)....am I right here??

Thanks James. I don't know for certain about the T-34 PE. It seems like it should work for parts of the SU-122, since they had the same hull. You run the risk of things (like screens) not quite fitting if the PE was made for another company's kit (i.e. not Tamiya), and the other company makes the screen section a different size (bigger or smaller) than Tamiya. You'd think they'd be close though.
