Description

The ISU-152 assault gun was used the same as the earlier SU-152—a large gun mounted in the hull of a heavy tank. The ISU-152 used the same gun as the earlier SU-152 but was built on the hull of an IS-2 tank instead of the older KV-1.

Over 3,200 vehicles produced in total between 1943 and 1947, with 1,885 ISU-152s built before the war’s end.

The main gun used a powerful OF-540 high-explosive shell containing nearly 6 kg of TNT which helped it perform it duties of breakthrough and bunker-busting.

The troops greatly appreciated the heavy assault guns, describing them as "Nekrasivo, no spasibo!" ("Not pretty, but thanks!")

The ISU-122 was identical to the ISU-152 with the exception of the main gun, The ISU-122 used the more powerful 122mm D-25S gun that was more effective anti-tank gun, but also filled the role as an infantry assault gun.

The pack includes one hull for an ISU-122 or ISU-152 assault gun. It also includes both barrels for the 122mm and 152mm assault gun.
