is a fairly impressive set of etched parts, but
unfortunately, the price is impressively high as well.
Find it on sale somewhere, and it's quite worth it. The
instructions state that this set is designed for the
Eastern Express kit. One problem with that, is that
Eastern Express never released an ISU-152, unless,
perhaps, they released the PST kit in their own box.
Regardless, I am assuming that it was designed for the
PST kit, because I think this set was marketed prior to
the release of the Italeri ISU-152. If any reader knows
for sure which kit(s) this set will fit, let us know, and
we'll add it here. As
you can see in the scan, it's quite the comprehensive
set. The majority of the metal comprises replacement
fenders and fuel cans. The fenders are the parts that may
tie this detail set to a specific plastic kit. Most other
parts could likely be used on both. There are replacement
hatches, useful if you want to pose hatches open, as well
as engine air intake vents, which are always appreciated
in etched parts. There are also tool brackets, fender
details, and other smaller parts. The engine vent louvres
will definitely look great when replaced, but it will be
quite a chore to do so.
A very nice set. I look
forward to seeing the other sets this company offers as
well.
