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

JS-2 Model 1944 (Tamiya 35289) - 1/35 Detailed Heavy Tank Model

This is a 1/35 scale plastic assembly kit that depicts the Soviet JS-2 Model 1944, intended for modellers who prioritise external accuracy and display presence.

The JS-2 was introduced in 1944 as a heavy breakthrough tank to counter later-war armored formations. It carried a 122mm A-19 main gun and combined thick, sloped armor with the Model 1944's pronounced muzzle brake. The vehicle emphasized frontal protection and offensive firepower on the Eastern Front during the final campaigns.

The kit reproduces the Model 1944's external identifiers, including the muzzle brake and the sloped front glacis. The hull and turret details reflect reference-informed shapes and fitting. A photo-etched part for the engine intake grille is supplied to provide a finer texture than plastic. Two track choices are included: a belt-type option and a link-style assembly track set for builder preference.

Small crew elements are provided: a commander figure and a loader torso for display flexibility. The parts layout and surface molding underline the manufacturer's emphasis on realistic surface detail so the JS-2 integrates neatly with other 1/35 military subjects.

An accurate external representation of the Model 1944 JS-2, this kit is designed for modellers focused on display-quality results in 1/35 scale.
