Review on πŸš€ TAMIYA JS3 Stalin Russian Heavy Tank by Chris Jenkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Soviet IS-3 Plastic Model

Here is a great set of Tamiya IS-3 (or JS-3 in English). IS-3 - Soviet designation. This kit was AMAZING to build. The kit was put together quickly and there were no problems adjusting it. I think I put this kit together in under 3 hours - that's how quick it was put together. Total parts count was less than 100. The only issue I had was mounting the extra fuel tanks in the rear - there was a part installed that actually helps lock the fuel tanks in place. I ignored the details and set the model aside to dry. When I later came back to add fuel tanks, I discovered my mistake. Suggest adding fuel tanks once you install these clips. Except for my own "oops", the set practically assembled itself. I added a non-original trunk. There are a few minor details, mainly the transoms around the tower. Although this is an enlarged set of a Soviet tank, young people should have no problem building it. Few parts, solid construction and quick assembly. There is a figure of a crew member and identification marks for Soviet and Egyptian equipment. Remember this is a PLASTIC MODEL KIT - ASSEMBLY required. Paint/Adhesive sold separately.
