E.T. Model P35-051 Russian JS-3 Heavy Tank 650mm Late Version Workable Track (3D Printed) 1/35 – IS-3 Tank Individual Track Links

The E.T. Model P35-051 set is designed for demanding modelers seeking authenticity and the highest level of detail for their 1/35 scale armored vehicle models. This kit provides a complete, fully workable set of individual track links dedicated to the Soviet IS-3 heavy tank (JS-3, also known as Joseph Stalin 3) Late Version, featuring the characteristic wide 650mm pitch tracks.

The IS-3 tank is a Soviet design that appeared shortly before the end of World War II (post-1944), but its full operational use occurred during the Cold War years. It was distinguished by its innovative silhouette with the so-called "pike nose" turret and heavy armor, and thanks to its wide tracks, it could operate successfully in difficult terrain. The IS-3 was used by the Soviet Army and other Warsaw Pact forces, as well as by Third World countries (e.g., Egypt) during conflicts in the 1950s and 1960s.
