The Russian Heavy Tank JS-2 was built to counter the German Tiger I. The JS-2, which was put into production in December 1943 during the latter half of WWII, had a long powerful 122mm gun and superior armour. The model features a turret and hull with a realistic cast metal surface texture. The assembly-type tracks offer easy assembly and feature a realistic sag effect. Includes 1 commander figure positioned in the cupola. Comes with 2 kinds of markings.
The JS-2 had a long powerful 122mm gun and superior armour. From August, 1944 the hatch on the front glacis was deleted, which greatly improved its frontal protection. The JS-2 was produced in the Chelyabinsk Kirov factory (ChKZ), and they proved to be effective as "breakthrough" tanks as well as combating German armor. The Tamiya 1/48 scale model kit faithfully captures the details of this iconic World War II machine.
