Thanks. I'm mostly done, slowed down only by some detailing I'm doing just to make the build look just a bit better.
I'm thinking this is probably similar to your kit. No clear parts or PE, and was rather surprised when the tracks I'm used to seeing in a nice little bag were on a couple sprues. Also rather used to seeing tons of sprues with lots of unused parts, but seems like they really just packed the essentials. The Tamiya ISU-152 kit has a couple clear lenses in it, the smaller ones seem to fit the headlight. So, that's one problem solved.

Turret built up real quick. Just need to add the tie downs and periscope parts on copula.

Gotta say I really like this kit. I've worked on newer DML T-34's, and there's so much to do. Here it's real nice and simple.

Here's where I am currently. Cut out the kit mesh by repeatedly cutting a line around the inside of the kit mesh. Dropped in a Alliance Works T-34 PE grille.
One of the things I want to do to improve this kit is this:

Shouldn't be to hard. Kit part lacks the triangular bits.
This is more or less what I'm aiming for:
