[About actual vehicle]
- During the Second World War, the Soviet army against the German army launched a large-scale tank warfare in the Russian plains.
- Although we increased their performance and attack power to overcome each other's enemy tanks, the development was advanced against the German Tiger I type tanks, and it was the IS - 2 heavy tank equipped with a 122 mm gun.
- Zh.Ya. It was developed by the second special design authority (YKB - 2), mainly of cochin technicians, and production began at the Kirovski factory in Chelyabinsk from December 1943.
- The car body length 6.7 m, the width 3 m, the car body weight 46 t, the casting parts are used for the upper part of the car body and the turret.
- The main gun was equipped with a 43-caliber 122-mm tank cannon D-25T which was improved to a tank cannon based on the 122 mm field farm gun A-19 that was equipped by the Soviet Union.
- It had the power to penetrate a 160 mm vertical steel plate from a distance of 1000 m.
- In the actual war, it was launched from the Korsul siege battle of February 1944 and advances to Berlin pursuing the German army.
- It continued to be active, such as being provided to countries of the communal sphere after the Great War.
[About the model]
- The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduced the Soviet army tank IS-2 at the end of the war on the 1/72 scale.
- The finished overall length is 12.3 cm and reproduces a powerful figure.
- Parts for two parts are prepared in the kit, and the parts score for one part is 11 points.
- It consists of parts such as the upper part of the car body, the lower part of the car body, the turret and the gun barrel, the shield and so on, and the crawler track and the road wheel etc. are reproduced together with the lower side of the car body.
- It is a model that you can easily assemble and model for modelers as well as those who are new to modeling.
- The texture of the car body and turret expresses the atmosphere of the casting skin. Weight is also transmitted.
- I'm looking forward to try making 2 vehicles with a decal difference.
- Of course not only the long barrel style but also the car body and turret are solidly expressed in the texture of the casting, finish that gives a sense of weight even on the 1/72 scale.
- It is a model that I'd like to sift through my arm to make it dirty paint etc easily.
