The Tamiya 56035 kit recreates the Soviet JS-2 heavy tank at 1/16 scale, highlighting the distinctive cast front profile and wartime proportions. Based on machines built at the Chelyabinsk Kirov Factory (ChKZ), this model gives scale modellers a hands-on way to enjoy the JS-2s that saw frontline service.
Designed for realistic operation, the kit employs the DMD Control Unit (T-08) and DMD Multi-Function Unit (MF-07) to manage turret rotation and gun movement. Structural metal parts such as the lower hull and suspension arms increase longevity, while the aluminium gun barrel provides a tactile recoil effect. Pre-assembled gear units with type 380 motors supply dependable drive force.
The model supports the separately available Battle System (Item 53447) to enable organised tank fights. Integrated audio reproduces engine and turret sounds to heighten immersion during runs and public displays.
Tamiya 56035 JS-2 is a fine pick for enthusiasts who want a historically faithful model with reliable mechanics and combat-ready options.
