Soviet JS-2 Heavy Tank, 1/35 - Trumpeter 05588

The Soviet JS-2 Heavy Tank model kit by Trumpeter, reference 05588, reproduced at 1/35, features a Soviet heavy tank JS-2. This plastic kit to be assembled depicts one of the iconic Soviet armored vehicles of the Second World War.

The JS-2, also designated IS-2, belonged to the Joseph Stalin heavy tank family developed by the Soviet Union. Designed for breakthrough operations, it combined substantial armor with a large-caliber gun. Put into service in 1944, it was notably used by the Red Army during the final phases of the conflict in Europe.

Trumpeter offers here a 1/35 armored vehicle kit made up of more than 360 parts. The box includes 21 sprues, as well as the upper hull, lower hull, and turret components. The model includes a metal gun barrel, a copper cable, and a photo-etched detail sheet.

Once assembled, the model measures 230 mm in length. The 1/35 scale allows you to build a highly detailed vehicle, suitable for a standalone display or for inclusion in a diorama devoted to the Eastern Front or the end of the Second World War.

As with any plastic kit, assembly requires suitable glue and painting requires model paints. A primer, cutting tools, fine abrasive paper, and weathering products can complete the build depending on the level of finish you want.
