The ISU-122 was one of the pillars of the Soviet armored forces at the end of World War II and in the early postwar period. The gun was developed in 1944 based on the components of the well-armored IS-2 heavy tank, with the main armament being the 122 mm model 1931/37 gun. It was characterized by high firepower and long range, making it effective both as infantry support and as a tank destroyer. Massively used on the Eastern Front, the ISU-122 played a crucial role in breaking through German positions and combating heavy armored targets during Red Army operations in 1944–1945 and in the postwar period up until the early 1950s.

The PST 72005 model stands out with faithfully reproduced details of the turret and hull surfaces, realistic running gear elements, and correctly shaped armament. Individual parts are precisely made from high-grade plastic, ensuring ease of processing and clean assembly. The model does not offer extras such as a metal barrel or resin parts, making it an excellent base for both beginner modelers and more advanced hobbyists seeking a foundation for further detailing.

Due to good fit quality and a clear instruction manual, we rate the assembly difficulty at 2/5. We especially recommend this model to World War II armored vehicle enthusiasts, 1:72 scale collectors, and anyone wishing to recreate battle scenes involving Soviet armed forces.
