About product

Soviet IS-2 heavy tank, model 1944, 1:48 (Tamiya)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet IS-2 (JS-2) heavy tank, model 1944, in 1:48 scale from the Tamiya military miniature line. The kit combines plastic parts with a metal weighted lower hull, which gives the model a realistic heft. A nylon tow cable and several marking options are also included.

The real subject

The IS-2 (Iosif Stalin 2) was a Soviet heavy tank developed as an answer to the German Tigers. It was armed with a powerful 122 mm gun that could destroy even heavily armored targets, and it was protected by markedly sloped armor. On the model 1944 version the vision port in the front plate of the hull was deleted, which improved frontal protection. The tanks built at the Chelyabinsk plant proved themselves as breakthrough machines in the closing stage of the war, including the fighting for Berlin.

Building and painting tips

You will appreciate the running gear and the cast texture of the turret and hull once they are painted. Assemble and paint the interior of the lower hull before you close it. Spray the base with primer, apply the main color with an airbrush and accentuate the cast surfaces with a wash and dry brushing; complete the mud and dust effects with pigments. Glue the plastic parts with liquid cement and the metal lower hull with cyanoacrylate.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Soviet armored vehicles of the Second World War
  • Those who like the smaller and more compact 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who appreciate a metal-weighted hull
  • Builders of Eastern Front dioramas

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

FAQ

The scale is 1:48, so it is smaller and more compact than the usual 1:35, yet with an excellent level of detail, which makes it ideal for collectors with limited room in the display case.

Yes, the lower part of the hull is a metal weighted plate, which gives the model a realistic heft. Glue it with cyanoacrylate.

A simplified front plate of the hull without a vision port, which improved the tank's frontal armor protection.
