1/48 Russian Heavy Tank JS-2 Model 1944

Tamiya, 32571, 1/48 Russian Heavy Tank JS-2 Model 1944 ChKZ

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 armor. 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.
