One of the Clash of Steel Starter Sets have been on my wants list ever since I found out about them at the beginning of the year. I ordered Operation Unthinkable boxed set containing the British and German tanks.
I decided I would add to the game by ordering the other Operation Unthinkable set, which contains American and Soviet tanks.
The IS-3 is a Soviet heavy tank developed in late 1944. Its semi-hemispherical cast turret (resembling that of an upturned soup bowl) became the hallmark of post-war Soviet tanks.
This is the GF9 finished model.
This is the sprue.
The model is quite simple to construct.
This is quite a large tank.
The next step will be a white undercoat.
