IS-6 Soviet Heavy Tank (Object 252) — Scalable 1/144 to 1/32 (Expert Multi-Part Kit)

Highly detailed model of the IS-6 (Object 252), an experimental Soviet heavy tank designed at the end of World War II. This formidable machine was a radical departure from previous Soviet designs, featuring a heavily sloped, all-welded hull and a cast turret designed to withstand the most powerful German anti-tank guns of the era. Though it never entered mass production, its design influenced the development of future Soviet heavy tanks and remains a fascinating "what-if" of armored warfare.

An essential addition for any WWII Soviet collection, experimental vehicle showcase, or Cold War diorama. The IS-6's unique hull shape and massive turret immediately set it apart as a piece of Soviet engineering ambition.

• Accurate representation of the IS-6 (Object 252) with all key features

• Multi-part kit with optimized component separation: — Lower hull with iconic all-welded armor and sloped plates — Turret with detailed casting texture and gun mantlet — Two types of 122mm gun barrel options (with and without muzzle brake) — Hull-mounted AA machine gun — Individual track links with thick/thin options for different scales — Spare tracks, external fuel tanks, and detailed stowage — Very small, detailed components for expert modellers — Spare thin and thick parts for fragile components

• Default scale is 1/100, comfortably printable from 1/144 up to 1/48 • Pushable to 1/32 scale if desired, though 1/48 is optimal for detail retention • Suitable for both diecast and tabletop applications

Printability: • EXPERT LEVEL: Not for beginners • Requires extensive manual support placement throughout the model • Requires a thorough understanding of resin 3D printing techniques • Separate components for easier printing and assembly — Small parts (antennae, tools, periscopes) sized for their respective scales — Manual support required for optimal results — Assembly instructions: install tracks, attach turret, mount gun and accessories, add detail parts last

Whether you're building a Soviet experimental armor collection, a WWII heavy tank showcase, or documenting Cold War prototypes, the IS-6 brings unique design philosophy and formidable presence to your collection.
