Trumpeter 07136 Soviet JS-7 Tank 1/72 – plastic model kit

The Trumpeter 07136 Soviet JS-7 Tank 1/72 model is a faithfully reproduced miniature of the Soviet heavy tank IS-7 (JS-7), which has made its mark in history as one of the most impressive and innovative armored vehicles of its time. This 1:72 scale model kit is designed to realistically recreate the details of the iconic tank developed by the USSR in 1948.

The IS-7 was the most advanced tank of its era – it weighed as much as 68 tons and was equipped with the powerful 130 mm C-70 gun. Thanks to the use of exceptionally thick armored plating, it was a difficult target to destroy and, combined with advanced technical systems, could pose a threat to any vehicle encountered on the battlefield. Despite its spectacular design and successful tests, the IS-7 never entered serial production, mainly due to its excessive weight and awkward fighting compartment layout. Nevertheless, this tank remains an icon of Soviet engineering from the late 1940s and serves as a great example of the development of armored vehicles in the postwar (Cold War) period.

• Scale: 1/72 – perfect for collections of armored vehicles and historical dioramas.
• Country of origin of the original: USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).
• Historical period: postwar phase of the Cold War, year 1948.
• Material: high-quality plastic ensures precise detailing.
• Number of parts: over 60 components – enough to guarantee a satisfying build while not overwhelming beginner modelers.
• Box contents: parts from a single sprue, separately molded hulls (upper, lower), and tracks for easier assembly.
• No photo-etched, metal, or resin parts included (full plastic kit).

The Trumpeter 07136 kit is an excellent choice for collectors of Soviet armored vehicles, Cold War enthusiasts, and all modelers wishing to develop their skills working with intermediate-level kits. We recommend this model for hobbyists at intermediate and advanced levels – difficulty is rated at 2/5. The clear assembly instructions and well-fitting parts enable even less experienced builders to succeed.

We recommend this model not only to enthusiasts of Soviet military technology, but also to those who want to expand their collection with a unique vehicle that never entered mass production, yet still captivates with its appearance and history.
