Italeri 1/72 JS-2 Stalin 2 Fast Assembly Kits (7502)
Developed for wargamers who require robust, quick assembly models to build up a tank squadron, this kit builds two Russian JS-2 Stalin WW2 heavy tanks. Each model consists of just 11 parts.
Part of the 'Fast Assembly Kits' range, these kits have been designed especially for simulation games, the fast assembly of these models are made up of a few pieces. Despite their practical characteristics and simplicity of assembly, they are still precise and well detailed.
Kit contains two models, model length 123mm.
The appearance of new German heavy tanks on the Asian front, the Tiger in particular, stimulated Soviet engineers to develop a new generation of armoured vehicles based on the T-100 prototype. The torsion bar suspension was mounted higher in the hull, lowering the tank’s height from the ground and allowing the installation of a larger turret able to hold a 100mm cannon (in the JS-1) or a 122mm cannon (in the JS-2, which appeared at the end of 1943). Production proceeded at a steady pace, and by February 1944 all the Red Army’s breakthrough tank regiments were equipped with JS-2s. On the battlefield, the JS-2 showed itself to be one of the best tanks in the world, a worthy opponent of the Panther and the Tiger, but also of the much heavier Koenig Tiger. | |
