The 1:35 Rye Field Model 5160 JS-2 Model 1944 with workable tracks is a plastic model kit for modellers who want to build a powerful Soviet heavy tank from the Second World War. The JS-2, also known as the IS-2, is known for its heavy appearance, strong combat value and impressive 122 mm armament, giving this model a dominant presence in your military model collection.

This Rye Field Model kit in 1:35 scale is especially appealing thanks to its workable tracks, which add more realism and technical depth to the scale model. The IS-2 was developed from the IS-1, with the most important improvement being the powerful 122 mm D-25T gun. This allowed the tank to engage German PzKpfw V and VI vehicles on relatively equal terms while effectively supporting its own infantry.
