1/48 SCALE RUSSIAN HEAVY TANK JS-2 MODEL 1944 ChKZ

Length: 206mm. Image shows finished model.

Realistic Presence Fits on Your Palm
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.
