About product

The Soviet IS-2 heavy tank in 1:72 scale from PST

Injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet IS-2 heavy tank in 1:72 scale from the manufacturer PST. In its own designation the manufacturer lists it as the mod. 1943 version, that is with the stepped front of the hull. It is a classic small kit for gluing and painting, with no electronics and no moving mechanisms.

The real subject

The IS-2 was a Soviet heavy tank of the last phase of the Second World War and its main weapon was a 122 mm gun. It was loaded with separate-loading ammunition, so the rate of fire was low, but a single hit could knock out even a well-armored target or blow apart a fortified emplacement. That is exactly why heavy tank regiments with the IS-2 were committed to breaking through prepared defenses and in urban fighting, Berlin included. The early machines had a stepped front of the hull; the later ones went over to a single sloped plate, which deflected hits better.

Building and painting tips

Glue the running gear and align it on a flat surface, so that the model does not stand crooked; with heavy tanks that catches the eye at once. The large smooth surfaces of the hull take suggested welds and rolling marks, which draw themselves out in a uniform green shade under a dark wash. Apply the white tactical markings and numbers only onto a smoothed gloss base, otherwise they bleed at this small scale.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of Soviet armored equipment in 1:72 scale
  • those interested in the heavy breakthrough tanks of the Second World War
  • modelers who build the Eastern Front in a small scale
  • builders of dioramas from urban fighting

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The manufacturer lists it as the IS-2 mod. 1943, that is the machine with the stepped front of the hull. The later version had a single sloped front plate.

It was loaded with separate-loading ammunition, so the rate of fire was low. A single hit, though, knocked out even a heavily armored target or a fortified emplacement.

That is not stated here. It is an injection-molded plastic kit and the presence of additional materials is not confirmed.

Yes, in the same numbered range it also has the modernized IS-2M and the IS-2MT recovery vehicle. Compare the manufacturer's part number before you buy, therefore.
