Trumpeter 05587 1/35 JS-1 Heavy Tank Scale Kit Overview

This Trumpeter 05587 1/35 Soviet JS-1 Heavy Tank kit recreates a key WWII heavy tank with careful attention to hull lines, turret detail and fittings. The injection molded parts provide clear surface detail that appeals to modellers focused on historical accuracy and realistic finishes.

Role in History and Combat Context
