JS-2 Model 1944 1/35 Scale Kit - Tamiya 35289  [35289]

Assembly Kit: JS-2 Model 1944 by Tamiya (35289) - 1/35 scale

This plastic assembly kit in 1/35 scale represents the Soviet JS-2 Model 1944 and is intended as a high-detail subject for hobbyists and display modelers.

Introduced in 1944, the JS-2 served as a heavy breakthrough tank designed to address late-war armored threats. It was armed with a 122mm A-19 main gun and featured robust, well-sloped armor plus a pronounced muzzle brake on the Model 1944. The vehicle was optimized for frontal engagements and offensive operations on the Eastern Front in the closing stages of the conflict.

The kit faithfully recreates Model 1944 external elements, including the muzzle brake and the sloped glacis plate. Hull and turret contours were developed from detailed references. A photo-etched engine intake grille is included to enhance textural realism. Builders can choose between supplied belt-type tracks or a separate assembly-type track set depending on preferred construction technique.

Included are small crew items: a single commander figure and a loader torso for display variation. The parts arrangement and mold detail emphasize surface accuracy so the JS-2 fits visually alongside other 1/35 wartime vehicles representing the same period.

This Model 1944 JS-2 kit offers detailed external replication for modellers aiming to achieve accurate display pieces within a 1/35 collection.
