Its distinctively flattened, \"shell-like\" turret and robust frontal armor plate made it a symbol of Soviet armored design at the turn of the 1940s and the beginning of the Cold War. The IS-3 was used by the USSR and its allied states (including Poland and Egypt), and its public display during the 1945 Berlin parade made a great impression on Allied observers. The operational service of these tanks primarily occurred during the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eDetails of the Trumpeter 07163 model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/72, model length 140.2 mm, width 46.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe kit consists of over 150 precisely reproduced parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModel made from high-quality plastic, ensuring ease of cutting and processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe set includes a brass wire used for replicating details, such as tow cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRealistic reproduction of hull, turret, and 122 mm BL-9 gun details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eComprehensive set of wheels, half-wheels, and tracks with accurately rendered details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePlastic assembly model with metal accessories – ideal for modelers who value realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWho do we recommend this model for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTrumpeter 07163 Russian JS-3 with 122mm BL-9 is an excellent choice for both intermediate and experienced modelers.
