Italeri 1/35 IS-2 Soviet Heavy Battle Tank: Accurate Scale Reproduction

The Italeri 1/35 IS-2 Soviet Heavy Battle Tank kit recreates one of World War II's most recognisable Soviet heavy tanks, noted for its 122 mm main gun and thick armor. This kit captures exterior shapes and surface detail with precision, giving modellers a clear view into the engineering that defined late-war Soviet armoured design.

Assembly and Display Appeal

Constructing the Italeri IS-2 is a satisfying project for hobbyists with some experience. The parts are crisply molded to reflect turret and hull details, and the assembly presents a moderate challenge that rewards careful work. Finished models make strong display pieces that communicate mid-20th-century military styling.

Battlefield Role and Authenticity

The IS-2 was a key asset in several crucial engagements, and this kit honours that legacy by focusing on realistic proportions and external fittings. Scale accuracy in the model helps collectors and history fans appreciate why the IS-2 was valued for firepower and protection.
