E.T. Model E35-054 WWII Soviet JS-2 Fender (For TAMIYA 35289) 1/35 – Photo-Etched Fender Set

The E.T. Model E35-054 photo-etched fender set is dedicated to the TAMIYA 35289 1/35 scale plastic kit of the heavy tank JS-2. This product is designed especially for modelers who demand maximum precision in the reproduction of details, particularly for the external elements of this Soviet armored vehicle from World War II.

The JS-2 (Iosif Stalin, Russian: Иосиф Сталин-2) was one of the most powerful tanks of the Red Army, produced from 1943 onwards. It served in the largest offensives of the late World War II period, including the battle for Berlin, Eastern Europe, and during the Lvov-Sandomierz operation in 1944. The tank was characterized by its thick armor, powerful 122 mm gun, and massive silhouette. The fenders on the JS-2 were particularly prone to damage in the harsh front-line conditions—precisely replicating them is one of the key details for any modeler seeking a realistic replica.
