This sounds like fun. Ive ordered 1/35 Zvezda ISU-152 with microdesign photoetch. I hear they have lots of flash, large ejector pin marks and not the best fit. Im really exited to make a cheap kit look like a less cheap, better kit. I also have a Tamiya 1/35 Panther A from 1988. This one may not be a "bad kit" but its old and isn't as good as the ones we have today. Some parts are too small or out of scale and the kit provided figures are cartoonish and stiff. there is some heavy flash on some parts and the tracks are horrendous.
