The box contains two kits.
One kit is an 11 piece "Quick" kit and the other is the standard detailed kit.
Both Kits are complete, one sprue is out of its packaging whilst the other remaining parts are still factory sealed.
The JS-2 was a Soviet response to the appearance of German heavy Panzers on the Eastern Front, and the failure of the KV tanks due to reliability problems. First issued in 1943, it was quickly realized that the stepped front plate represented a weak point for late-war German anti-tank guns and the 1944 model was produced with a straight front plate with no step. This model, however, has the stepped front plate of the 1943 model JS-2.
This is a new moulding by Italeri and not one of the ex-Esci kits that Italeri has recently been re-releasing. This is evidenced by the inclusion of a wargamer’s “Fast Assembly” kit which Italeri has only done with their own mouldings.
