Trumpeter 05586 Soviet JS-7 Heavy Tank (1/35)

Trumpeter 05586 Soviet JS-7 Heavy Tank in 1:35 scale is an extremely detailed plastic model kit intended for advanced modelers wishing to recreate the powerful and unique heavy tank from the final stage of World War II and the early Cold War period. This set is a faithful miniature of the Soviet heavy tank IS-7 (Russian: ИС-7), which was one of the most technologically advanced armored weapon projects of its time.

Historical Information

The IS-7 tank was designed by a team led by N. F. Shashmurin between 1945 and 1948. It was one of the most advanced Soviet heavy tanks intended for breaking through enemy fortifications. It was built in the Soviet Union for the Red Army. The tank took part in many tests, but did not enter mass production due to its excessive size and weight, which exceeded 68 tons. IS-7 production was limited to a few prototypes that served research and experimental purposes.
