About product

Soviet JS-3 heavy tank (1:72, Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet JS-3 (IS-3) heavy tank in 1:72 scale from Trumpeter. The model has fine engraved detail and a large number of parts including small ones, and the hull captures the characteristic wedge-shaped front. The tracks are of the flexible (vinyl) type, and a decal sheet for two vehicles is included.

The real subject

The JS-3 was a Soviet heavy tank from the end of the Second World War, named after Joseph Stalin. It was marked by a hull front shaped strongly into a wedge, known as the pike nose, and by a low hemispherical turret; both improved its resistance to a hit. It carried a massive 122 mm gun. Although it practically never saw action in the fighting of the Second World War, its low silhouette and shaped armor had a marked influence on the postwar development of heavy tanks. It was first shown in public at the parade in Berlin and attracted great attention.

Building and painting tips

Given the higher number of parts, assemble the running gear and the wheels carefully before you close the hull. Use liquid cement, a primer and an airbrush; you will bring the typically green finish to life with dark washes into the joints and pigments for dust and mud on the running gear and the sides.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Soviet armored vehicles
  • Anyone interested in heavy tanks with a characteristic wedge front
  • Modelers who want to tell the JS-3 apart from the modernized JS-3M version
  • More advanced builders of the small 1:72 scale

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

FAQ

It stands out for the wedge-shaped hull front, known as the pike nose, and a low hemispherical turret; both improved its resistance to a hit. It carries a massive 122 mm gun.

The JS-3 is the original configuration; the modernized JS-3M version has some reworked external features, such as the fenders, the mounting of the fuel tanks and the grab handles on the turret.

It has a higher number of parts including small ones, so it suits modelers with some experience; workshop precision when building the running gear pays off.
