I have the Operation Unthinkable boxed set containing the American and Soviet tanks. The GF9 Operation Unthinkable boxed set, the American versus Soviet, contains 21 tanks. Five of these are the ISU-130.
The ISU-130, is a tank destroyer based on the IS-2 chassis armed with an 130mm S-26 gun.
This is the GF9 finished model.
This is the track sprue.
The kit also allows you to build the ISU-122 and ISU-152 variants as well. As there are five kits I think I will mix and match the different variants.
Firstly I went with the ISU-130. The kit was relatively easy to construct.
I had already constructed one ISU-130, so it was quite simple to put another one together.
Here are the two ISU-130 tank destroyers together.
The next step was a white undercoat.
I then sprayed the underneath of the models with a black spray to add shadow and depth.
For the basecoat I used Army Painter Colour Primer: Angel Green.
I decided that this was too dark, so for these models I then gave them a light spray of Army Painter Army Green Spray.
This will then be my testbed for the models and my other Soviet tanks.
The next stage will be painting the tracks.
