Nice model. When you do the stat performance comparisons on these vs. other tanks however, the truth is the value of this vehicle was about 4 out of 10. Like the 152, this is a specific vehicle for a specific function and propaganda war at a specific point in time; yes it defeats all other tanks and most 10 story buildings, but the western allies had more reliable engines and transmissions once they figured out the Pershing issues and prepared to fight the Russians after the Germans surrendered. Tank no good if you must be "Ahhnold" to change gears. Also, slow rate of fire due to 2-piece rounds and no turret. Remember, even the Partisans in Budapest and Prague defeated the JSIII with apparent relative ease. Looks darn nice in photos though, with all these guys riding it.

Yet another new resin-and-metal vehicle rolls out of the Bolt Action tank factory – this one being the brutal ISU-122!

ISU-122

The ISU-122 was used as a powerful assault gun, a self-propelled howitzer, and a long-range tank destroyer.

ISU-122

With the same hull as the IS-2, it had good armor performance - noticeably so against high-explosive rounds.
