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 - German E-75 (75-100 tons) Standardpanzer - Plastic model kit #01538
The German Entwicklung, or E-series tank designs were intended to replace the existing tanks such as the Jagdpanzer 38(t), Panther Ausf.G and Tiger II. The E-series vehicles were meant to be much simpler and cheaper to produce than their predecessors.
The E-75 Standardpanzer - standard heavy tank - was designed to replace the Tiger II and Jagdtiger. 75 stood for the intended weight of the vehicle - 75 tonnes. The E-75 was to use the Maybach HL 234 engine and due to its heavy weight the vehicle's maximum speed would be around 40 km/h.
The E-75 Standardpanzer shared many components with the E-50 which was intended to replace the Panther and Tiger I. The two vehicles were meant to have the same turret and the 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun.

Trumpeter 1:35 - German Super Heavy Jagdpanzer E-100 - Plastic model kit #01596
The Entwicklung series (German for "development"), shortened to E-Series, was a family of late WWII German tanks that were planned to be developed according to a standardised design. This was an attempt to stop the production of extremely complex and mechanically unreliable tanks in favour of cheaper, simpler and more efficient designs. However, the E-Series tanks featured only small modifications in armour and gun power compared to their predecessors which they were intended to replace.
The E-100 was one of the latest tanks of the E-Series. Based on the Tiger-Maus design that combined features of the Tiger II and the Maus, the E-100 prototype was constructed in 1944. However, further development was practically ended right after Hitler had issued the order to stop the Maus project.
Initially, a 75mm coaxial gun similar to the one from the Maus was meant to serve as the vehicle's armament, but later it was decided to choose a 170mm anti-tank gun in order to save more space for the crew and equipment. Another advantage of the 170mm gun was that it could shoot armour piercing projectiles at the range of up to 4 km. The speed of the tank was expected to reach 40 km/h.

Trumpeter 1:35 - German Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer STARR - Plastic model kit #05524
The Jagdpanzer 38 (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), later known as the Hetzer ("pursuer/hunter"), was a German light tank destroyer, based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis, inspired by the Romanian "Mareşal" tank destroyer.
The Jagdpanzer 38 Starr ("Starr" means "rigid" in German) was a simplified version of the Jagdpanzer 38, first built in 1944. It was armed with the 75mm Pak 39 recoilless gun, while the original Hetzer used a traditional 75mm Pak 39 gun. First prototypes of the Hetzer-Starr were equipped with Tatra 928 diesel engines, however later they were replaced with standard engines. Several Hetzer-Starrs were used during the Prague uprising in 1945. Overall 10 vehicles of this type were built, 9 of them were later converted back to the normal Jagdpanzer 38. The remaining prototype was destroyed at the end of the war.

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 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 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 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.

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-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 - PLA Type 62 Light Tank - Plastic Model Kit #05537
The PLA Type 62 light tank, also known as the Norinco Type 62 or WZ131, was manufactured in China in the early 1960s. Its design originated from the Chinese Type 59, however, due to thinner armour and smaller 85 mm Type 62-85TC rifled gun its weight was reduced, which made it much more appropriate to the geographical environment of Southern China with its lakes, rivers and rice paddies.
The maximum range of the gun was 12,200 m and maximum aimed range was 1,870 m. The fire range could amount to 5 rpm. The Type 62 was additionally equipped with 12.7 mm Type 54 anti-aircraft heavy machine gun (a Chinese copy of 12.7 mm DShK 1938/46 heavy machine gun) and two 7.62 mm Type 59T medium machine guns. Another 7.62 mm Type 59T machine gun could be added to the left side of the turret hatch.
The Type 62 tank appeared on the battlefield during the Vietnam War, Ho Chi Minh Campaign and Sino-Vietnamese War, however eventually it was recognised as ill-equipped for warfare because of its thin armour and poor armament.
At present the Type 62 is withdrawn from use in China, however it still operates in other countries as fire support or against lightly armoured vehicles.

The Sturmpanzer Bär (Bear) was a German anti-tank self-propelled gun developed in 1942. Although this project was not put into production, the Sturmpanzer Bär influenced the design of other self-propelled guns including the Sturmtiger assault gun.
The Sturmpanzer Bär was based on the modified chassis of the Tiger I and had 130mm frontal armour. It was to be armed with a 305mm KwK L/16 anti-tank cannon and powered by a 12-cylinder Maybach HL 230 P 30 engine (700 horsepower). According to the design, the vehicle would be operated by a 6 men crew - a commander, a gunner, two loaders, a radio operator and a driver.
Had the Sturmpanzer Bär been produced, its total weight would be 120 tons.

Trumpeter 1:35 - German Neubaufahrzeug Rheinmetall Tank - Plastic model kit #05528
Development of the Neubaufahrzeug ("New construction vehicle") started in 1933. It was the first attempt to create a heavy multi-turreted tank for the Wehrmacht. In 1926 the British built their version of a heavy multi-turreted tank, the Vickers A1E1 Independent, and the Germans bought its technical details from a British officer who acted as a spy. Both Rheinmetall and Krupp were designing a German heavy tank. Their designs turned out to be very similar, the main difference being the weapons placement. Both tanks had a main turret armed with a 75mm KwK L/24 main gun and secondary 37mm KwK L/45. Rheinmetall's design was called PzKpfw NbFz V, and Krupp's design was designated PzKpfw NbFz VI. However, both designs proved to be too complex, unreliable and slow to serve as heavy tanks. Only five tanks were produced and they were primarily used for propaganda purposes. Three out of five Neubaufahrzeug's took part in the Battle of Norway in 1940, but none of them survived the war.

In 1942 the decision was made to build a heavy self-propelled gun carrier for the 17cm Kanone 18 based on the chassis of the Tiger II. The vehicle was named the Geschützwagen Tiger. Its total weight including 8 crew members would reach 60 tons. The armour thickness was 30mm at the front and 16mm on the sides. The Geschützwagen's planned top speed was 45km/h on roads.
The first prototype of this vehicle was tested at the end of WWII, but the tank never saw service due to the defeat of Germany. The partly assembled prototype was found by Allied troops in Haustenbeck in 1945.
