Take a look at the base plate!! I guess it happened through storage.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/5/9/5/101595-11956-54-720.jpg)
Somehow it's funny....

There are a couple of things you should not do at 6:00 am. One of them is a hot water bath for plastic parts...
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/6/0/4/101604-11956-31-720.jpg)
neatened the hull a bit. There will be scratchbuild needed.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/6/0/5/101605-11956-70-720.jpg)
A well placed shot with a 152 HE round from a ISU-152 could blast a Tiger turret out of the hull. Of curse such a gun needs a thick mantle!
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/4/6/9/102469-11956-27-720.jpg)
Update 1: I have added some details to the superstructure and glued the gun mantle to the hull.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/4/7/0/102470-11956-10-720.jpg)
Update 1: Pictures show that on many ISUs the fenders have been partially removed. My model will show the same. Zvezda has not specified which version this ISU is, I will make a early one. Therefore I will add a molding structure to the lower glacis.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/4/7/1/102471-11956-95-720.jpg)
Update 1: As the base plate is deformed, I had to add the side parts of the hull first. I will get myself some plastic sheet and rebuild the base plate and build up the hull.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/4/7/2/102472-11956-75-720.jpg)
Update 1: Working on the wheels now. As I want to make a early ISU I can not use the Eastern Express track links. I will get Trumpy's 650mm tracks instead and if I am lucky (or my wife in a good mood) I'll add RB Models' gun barrel.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/5/7/6/103576-11956-29-720.jpg)
Update 2: Got the platic sheet delivered and built up the hull. Wasn't easy, the glue I bought did not work with the kit's plastic. But Tamiya's cement worked on both.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/5/7/7/103577-11956-61-720.jpg)
Update 2: On the back plate I had to do a lot of rework and need to rebuild some nuts that are lost now.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/5/7/8/103578-11956-55-720.jpg)
Update 2: RB Models gun barrel is slightly longer than the kit barrel. I like it, can't wait to assemble it.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/5/7/9/103579-11956-51-720.jpg)
Update 2: Trumpy's workable track links are around 18.75mm and therefore fit perfectly to the ISU.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/8/9/9/104899-11956-45-720.jpg)
Update 3: Couldn't do much on the model during last week but began to close the downside of the superstructure. Otherwise you could have a look into the empty tank...
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/1/5/1/106151-11956-61-720.jpg)
Update 3: I added a molding structure with tamiya putty to the gun mantlet and the lower glacis.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/1/5/2/106152-11956-27-720.jpg)
Update 3: Early ISUs had a molded lower glacis instead of a welded one.
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/1/5/3/106153-11956-97-720.jpg)
Update 3: It looks very rough but my reference pictures of a Finish ISU look similar: andreaslarka.net/ps745001/ps745001.html
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/0/6/0/107060-11956-48-720.jpg)
Update 4: I was kind of lazy over the last weeks but since this weekend I'm back in. World of tanks just attracted me too much... 🙁 So, build up the wheels for the monster.
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/0/6/1/107061-11956-56-720.jpg)
Update 4: Fuel tanks are added.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/0/6/2/107062-11956-43-720.jpg)
Update 4: Gun glued to the mantlet, I love it...
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/2/8/8/108288-11956-73-720.jpg)
Update 5: Gun glued to the model, small details added.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/2/8/9/108289-11956-54-720.jpg)
Update 5: As the molding structure was too rough I sanded it again before adding details. Looks much better now.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/2/9/0/108290-11956-60-720.jpg)
Update 5: Added some damages caused by combat action.
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/2/9/1/108291-11956-94-720.jpg)
Update 5: I don't like the back side yet, have to work on it again.
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/2/9/2/108292-11956-48-720.jpg)
Update 5: Trumpys workable tracks; a damn sh**tload of work. And I figured out they don't fit onto the back wheels of the Zvezda kit. Have to rework a lot here.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/3/9/8/109398-11956-73-720.jpg)
Update 6: Working on the tracks, piece by piece they are glued together...
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/3/9/9/109399-11956-16-720.jpg)
Update 6: Trumpy's track links are quite good to handle but it still is a s**t load of work.
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/4/0/0/109400-11956-20-720.jpg)
Update 6: I build segments and stick them to the model, than add the next ones.
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/4/0/1/109401-11956-81-720.jpg)
Update 6: Unfortunately the little splints fall out easily. I carefully apply glue to them, the tracks stay flexible.
![Album image #36 Album image #36](/albums/img/6/6/4/109664-11956-27-720.jpg)
Update 7: Tracks left side
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/6/6/5/109665-11956-92-720.jpg)
Update 7: Tracks right side
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/6/6/6/109666-11956-27-720.jpg)
Update 7: Spare tracks on the lower glacis
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/6/6/7/109667-11956-39-720.jpg)
Update 7: Perhaps I'll add a tow here, have one left from the KV-1
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/6/6/8/109668-11956-33-720.jpg)
Update 7: The beast top side
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/6/6/9/109669-11956-38-720.jpg)
Update 7: The beast bottom side
![Album image #42 Album image #42](/albums/img/2/1/7/110217-11956-59-720.jpg)
Update 8: Further details added.
![Album image #43 Album image #43](/albums/img/2/1/8/110218-11956-73-720.jpg)
Update 8: Ready for painting!
![Album image #44 Album image #44](/albums/img/2/1/9/110219-11956-50-720.jpg)
