Historical background:

The heavy tank IS-2 (JS-2) and self-propelled guns ISU-122 and ISU-152 were introduced into the Red Army's arsenal during World War II, starting in 1943. These vehicles played a crucial role in breaking through German defensive lines and were used, among other roles, in urban combat such as during the Battle of Berlin. They were characterized by thick armor and powerful armament, which put them among the most formidable vehicles in the Soviet arsenal.

The offered grille set faithfully replicates the characteristic air intake covers found on these vehicles. Originally, these were protective elements against larger debris and shrapnel, increasing the engine's effectiveness and preventing damage.

Application and product advantages:

• Precisely made grilles ensure maximum realism and accurate historical details.

The Aber 48A32 set is especially recommended for intermediate and experienced modelers (difficulty level: 3/5). Working with photoetched parts requires some skill, but the end result is extremely rewarding. It is the perfect choice for modelers who value high quality detail and historical accuracy!
