This past summer I purchased my first PST kits and PART etched brass detail set from Australia’s NKR Models website and started my collection with the IS-2 (1943). This vehicle was first introduced in 1944 as a Soviet breakthrough tank; not to fight the heavy German Panther and Tigers according to my references (listed below).

A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item. See the seller's listing for full details.

The burly-looking IS2 heavy tank was the Red Army's answer to German heavy tanks like the Panther and Tiger. Its lack of refinement made it an uncomfortable vehicle to crew, and the split ammunition for its 122mm main gun reduced its rate of fire, greatly accelerated crew fatigue, and reduced its ammunition load to only about 25 rounds.

A comparison with the PST turret shows that there are some differences, one being that the PST turret is a generic turret used for their IS range with only a few part changes, which leaves the turret not 100% correct for any. However that said the turret shown is for a IS-2 M hence the different mantlet.
