Trumpeter 07227 Russia JS-3 TANK (1/72) – plastic model kit

The Trumpeter 07227 Russia JS-3 TANK in 1:72 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit, intended for both advanced modelers and ambitious beginners. This product precisely replicates the Soviet heavy tank IS-3 (Iosif Stalin 3), which was a breakthrough in armored vehicle design during the final period of World War II and the early postwar years.

This model allows you to explore the history of the Soviet Union's armored might. The IS-3 (English: JS-3) was one of the most powerful tanks of its time, distinguished by its well-angled, "breaking" armor layout, which increased crew protection. It was first revealed during the Berlin parade in September 1945, causing quite a sensation among Allied observers. Although the IS-3 did not take direct part in World War II combat, it served for decades in the armies of the Warsaw Pact and Middle Eastern states – including Egypt and Syria during conflicts such as the Six-Day War in 1967.
