Trumpeter 1:35 - JS-7 Soviet Super Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #05586
The JS-7 heavy tank, also known as the IS-7, was designed in 1948. With its mass equal to 68 tonnes it was the largest and heaviest specimen of the Joseph Stalin tank series. The JS-7 was distinguished by 130 mm S-70 long-barrel gun and thick armour able to protect against the German Pak 44 L/55. Besides, the JS-7 had a "pike nose" front that ensured a high level of protection against head-on attacks. Due to its 1050-hp engine, the tank could travel at 60 km/h.
Despite all its merits, the JS-7 never entered production; there were fears that railway platforms and bridges couldn't bear its weight.

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet JS-1 Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #05587
The Soviet heavy tank JS-1, a modernised version of the KV-1 and KV-2 series, was put into service in the midst of the Second World War. High production rates and quick testing of the JS-1 resulted from the appearance of the newer German Panther and Tiger I tanks and the lack of adequate military equipment to fight against them. However, even after several modifications of its design, the JS-1 proved to be unsuccessful in combat because of its armament that was not strong enough to defeat German tanks. The JS-1 was soon replaced by the improved JS-2.
During the war, the JS-1 was also known as the JS-85, where "85" stood for the calibre of the tank gun, and "JS" - for Joseph Stalin (Russian: ИС - Иосиф Сталин). The JS-1 marked the beginning of the well-known "Joseph Stalin" tank line.

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet JS-2 Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #05588
After it became clear that the JS-1 was incapable of destroying the German Tiger and Panther tanks, Soviet engineers came up with an upgraded model of the JS series - the JS-2 heavy tank. The production of the early version began in 1943 in Chelyabinsk. The JS-2 was equipped with the D-25T gun, also known as the 122 mm gun, with higher armour-piercing qualities. In addition, compared to the JS-1 and its prototype models of the KV series, the JS-2 had thicker front armour and a muzzle recoil compensator. Besides, it was much lighter and faster.
The JS-2 and Tiger I were able to hit each other at a range of less than 1,000 m which was an average combat distance. Moreover, due to high-explosive fragmentation shells of the D-25T gun the JS-2 could do severe damage to the heaviest German tanks even without piercing their armour.
The JS-2 first saw combat in February 1944 during the Korsun–Shevchenkovsky Offensive. In spring of the same year JS-2 tanks destroyed up to 40 German tanks (including Tiger Is), 10 anti-tank guns and several AFVs.
After the end of the war, the production of JS tanks continued and in the 1950's remaining JS-2 units were modified to a new JS-2M version. In the late 1960's, when heavy tanks were replaced with medium tanks, the JS vehicles were no longer in active service with the Red Army.

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet JS-2M Heavy Tank Early - Plastic model kit #05589
After it became clear that the JS-1 was incapable of destroying the German Tiger and Panther tanks, the Soviet engineers came up with an upgraded model of the JS series - the JS-2 heavy tank. The production of its early version began in 1943 in Chelyabinsk. The JS-2 was equipped with the A-19 gun, also known as the 122 mm gun, with higher armour-piercing qualities. In addition, compared to the JS-1 and its prototype models of the KV series, the JS-2 had thicker front armour and a muzzle recoil compensator. Besides, it was much lighter and faster.
In 1944, the model was modernised once again and renamed the JS-2M. The changes mainly transformed the chassis construction; the transmission and fighting compartments were relocated to the back of the tank. Later the same modifications were made to almost all JS-2 tanks remaining after the war.

£64.00 GBP
Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet JS-4 Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #05573
There were two Soviet tanks named JS-4: Object 245 JS-4 and Object 701 JS-4. The Object 245 was an improved version of the JS-2 armed with 100mm D-10T cannon. The other JS-4 tank was a new design developed by the Kirov Plant in Leningrad. Also based on the JS-2, the Object 701 featured a longer hull and an additional set of road wheels. It was powered by a better engine and equipped with thicker armour on both the hull and the turret. A 122mm gun was used as an armament. The engine cooling system of the tank was adopted from the German Panther tank of WWII.
Batch production of the JS-4 lasted from 1947 to 1949. It was ended due to the tank's low speed and mobility. Only 250 units were issued, most of which were sent to the Russian Far East.

Trumpeter 1:35 Soviet KV-8S Heavy Tank

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet KV-8S Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #01572
The Soviet KV tanks were heavy tanks used by the Red Army during the Second World War. KV stood for Kliment Voroshilov, the Soviet politician and defense commissar. The KV tanks were famous for their heavy armour protection. The KV-1 was invulnerable to most German weapons except the 8.8cm Flak gun, until the Germans developed more effective guns. The KV-1 outclassed the French Char B1, which was the only other heavy tank in service at that time.
During the Winter War, the KV's proved to be highly resistant to Finnish anti-tank weapons, and the first order of 50 KV's was placed. However, the KV tank had serious flaws: it was difficult to steer, the transmission was unreliable, and the ergonomics were poor. These flaws were rectified with the introduction of the KV-1S. The KV-1S was lighter and had thinner armour and a smaller lower turret.
The KV-8S was based on the KV-1S and had an ATO-42 flamethrower (improved version of the ATO-41 used in the KV-1 and KV-8). However, after a few years it turned out that the expensive KV tanks could be replaced by the T-34 medium tanks which had a better performance. The KV series became a base for the development of the IS tanks (IS - Josif Stalin).

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet Object 268 Heavy Tank Prototype - Plastic model kit #05544
The Object 268 (Obiekt 268) was a Soviet tank destroyer manufactured at the Kirov Plant, Leningrad, in 1956. Its development was led by Joseph Kotin. The chassis of the Object 269 was designed on the basis of the T-10 heavy tank. The Object 268 was equipped with 152 mm M-64 cannon which ensured excellent penetration, high shooting accuracy and fast rate of fire. The tank destroyer successfully passed the tests, however it was never actually used on the battlefield because it lacked enough gun power to fight against newly-designed English Chieftain and American M60 Patton battle tanks.

Trumpeter 1:35 Soviet Project / Object 704 SPH Howitzer

Trumpeter 1:35 Soviet Project / Object 704 SPH Howitzer - Plastic model kit #TRU05575
As Soviet forces started to push German troops out of Russia, the armament factories were busy developing new military technology to counter the Panther and Tiger tanks and their various tank destroyer units. The ISU-152 series entered production in 1943 based on the KV-1 heavy tank chassis, armed with the ML-20 152.4mm gun howitzer. Despite these new variants being sent into combat, Soviet designers were immediately looking at new developments.
One of these experiments was the Object 704 which adopted the chassis features of the IS-2 and IS-3 tanks and was distinctive with its sloping armour and lower profile. Armed with the ML-20SM model 1944 gun-howitzer, with a barrel length of over 4.5 metres (29.6 calibers) and no muzzle brake, which further increased the firepower of the gun, the vehicle provided the best crew protection of all self-propelled guns in World War II. However, with a crew of five, a low ceiling in the fighting compartment, and the lack of muzzle brake, the workload was unbearable for the crew from the gun recoil. It had a maximum range of 13,000 metres. Only one prototype was built and it is on display in a Russian armour museum. The self-propelled gun carried 20 rounds of two piece (shell and charge) armour-piercing and high explosive ammunition. The secondary armament of the fighting vehicle consisted of two 12.7 x 108 mm DShK machine guns, one anti-aircraft and one co-axial.
The Object 704 self-propelled howitzer was designed to replace the ISU-152.
The overall height of the vehicle was reduced to 2240 mm, which was compensated with an increased width of the superstructure. The factory designation was Object 704. It was armed with the 152.4 mm ML-20SM
