Detailed SU-152 scale model for collectors and modellers

The SU-152, sometimes called "Zveroboy" or beast killer, served as an improvised heavy tank destroyer in the Second World War. Trumpeter's 05568 1/35 kit aims to reproduce the vehicle's imposing silhouette and heavy armament in scale form.

Precision components and scale realism

As a static assembly kit, it comprises over 460 parts and includes 192 individual track links to replicate authentic track geometry. The set also contains a metal gun barrel and two photo-etched parts to accent fine details. Finished size is 256.6mm long and 94.8mm wide.

Assembly challenge and finishing tips

The kit offers a rewarding challenge for experienced builders who enjoy detailed assembly and weathering. Taking time on subassemblies and using fine weathering techniques will enhance the final presentation.

Start with a primer, then block in base colours appropriate to late-war Soviet schemes. Use thin layers, filter washes and subtle chipping to replicate service wear.
The Trumpeter 05568 includes metal and photo-etched parts for strong baseline detail. Aftermarket sets can add extras like resin stowage or finer fittings but are not required for a convincing build.
Work in small sections, dry-fit frequently and use clamps or jigs to keep links aligned while glue sets. Patience and steady handling produce the most accurate track runs.
The kit focuses on visual and dimensional fidelity to the SU-152 on the KV-1S chassis, providing the parts needed to achieve a representative late WWII appearance.
