1:72 Scale Metal Diecast ? IS-2 Main Battle Tank - Length: 6" (from end of vehicle to tip of the main gun) Width: 1.75? This model's body is made of metal while the turret is made of plastic. The turret can rotate all 360 degrees and it has a pair of machine guns attached. The tracks are made of rubber and are fitted, however they do not move. The coloring and markings are accurate and realistic. The maker of the model really did a good job with the model, the panel lines and details are very clear and crisp. These models have different details engraved such as doors, hatches, panels, lights, ports, antennas, machine guns, ropes, shovels, etc; all of these done with high accuracy and proportion. When they are painted in different color, say for example, shovels and ropes, they are indeed painted accurately. These models come in what could be described as a disposable blister pack. The packaging is very minimum, the blister back is just big enough to enclose the vehicle and the cardboard backing to which the blister is attached is barely bigger than the lengths and width dimension of the vehicle. The IS Tank (in Cyrillic "??", meaning the Joseph Stalin or Iosif Stalin in Cyrillic "?????? ???????") was a series of heavy tanks developed as a successor to the KV-series by the Soviet Union during World War II and was named after Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The heavy tank was designed with thick armour to counter German 88 mm guns and carried a main gun capable of defeating Tiger and Panther tanks. It was mainly a breakthrough tank, firing a heavy high-explosive shell that was useful against entrenchments and bunkers. The IS-2 went into service in April 1944 and was used as a spearhead by the Red Army in the final stage of the Battle of Berlin.
