IS-2 & IS-2m

Name Soviet Heavy Tank STALIN JS-2 (1943) & JS-2m (1944) (Item No. S.W.A. 30 /76065/& 31 /76071/)

Producer Fujimi, Japan

Packing carton box with ”art” picture on the top

Type of kit injected plastic kit

Quality Both versions of Soviet heavy tank IS-2 are very similar, therefore also kits have few differences. Different are parts of upper part of the hull and gun mantlet. Each kit includes four sprues full very well moulded and detailed parts. Both turret hatches can be completed open so you can place crew figures in. Tracks are done in ”click-clack” moulded with guide-teeth and with upper links shaped sagging. Infantry holders partly moulded as part of lower turret part are relatively thin but still not enough to look accurate in 1/76 scale. Therefore some modellers maybe replace them with new holders made of wire of stretched sprue.

Instruction sheet clear graphical assembly and painting instructions

Decals marking for two vehicles, quality so and so

General Impression & Note I guess these kits are perfect example to see what you can get using the most modern injected moulding technology. I suppose that completion will be simple and quick and that you will get without many modifications out of these kits very nice models of both versions of known Soviet heavy tank IS-2 that played important role during WW2. Tanks IS-2m on Chinese side took part also in Korean conflict.
I could introduce you mentioned two absolutely new kits only thanks to kit swap with Japanese colleague Kenji Nagakawa.
