Assembly model 1/76 tank Joseph Stalin JS-3 Airfix A01307V
IS-3 is a Soviet heavy tank of the period of the end of the Second World War and the Cold War. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in 1944, and the production of the car was carried out in 1945-1946 or 1947. About 2,300 machines of this type were produced in such a short period of time! The combat weight of the tank was up to 46.5 tons. The drive was provided by a single diesel engine with a capacity of up to 600 horsepower. The main armament consisted of a 122-mm D-25T gun and 2 machine guns: 1 DShK rifle of 12.7 mm caliber and 1 DT rifle of 7.62 mm caliber.

Machine The IS-3 was designed as a very far-reaching development of the IS-2 tank. On the one hand, he borrowed from him the main armament, as well as many mechanical assemblies. On the other hand, this is a completely different shape of the front part of the machine, as well as a completely new tower with significantly increased resistance to anti-tank hits. Cars of this type aroused considerable interest among Western experts, who considered them a potentially very dangerous weapon. It is worth adding that during the Cold War, the IS-3 tanks underwent several modernizations, during which, in particular, more modern radio stations were used, the hull design was strengthened or night vision devices were introduced. . IS-3 cars were exported to a number of countries, including Czechoslovakia, Egypt and Poland. They were used in combat mainly during the Six-Day War in 1967.
