I have received my two kits from Christian juckenburg, i.e. the SU-152 and the JS-3 conversion kits for the heng long KV-1.

Both were carefully packaged, with all small parts in several bags.



The instructions came in form of several A4 sheets in B/W, filled with pictures. Step-by-step procedure description is lacking (except some general tips about handling of resin parts and explanations about how to modify the supension heigth), but the pics themselves are many and self- explanatory enough .

All resin parts were well moulded, with rich details and few cleaning required. No visible deformation and just one bubble in the barrel found so far.



The single-piece hull is impressive for both size and detail, and it is designed to fit the HL KV-1 plastic lower hull.
I have tried to fit it on a Asiatam metal lower hull and can confirm that it doesn't fit without working on the rear of the resin hull, which is designed to fit between the side walls of the metal one.
Since the side walls are thicker on the metal hull than on the plastic one, it doesn't fit out of the box.

The turret is made in two pieces, with the lower part moulded to accept a standard HL turret ring. The upper part of the turret has a nice fusion texture.

There is a bag with the replacement outer wheels, cast in some black plastic rather than resin, softer to the touch and more fit for running over the tracks. This is a nice addition, with RC in mind, and Christian must be praised for that.
Also some spare tracks are supplied to be put on the upper hull.

The barrel is not hollow and will require a replacement with either an aluminium turned one or something else, in order to fit IR and/or flash units inside it.

A cople of metal axles are supplied to build hinges and handles.

Overall, a very nice kit, worth the price.
