IS-1 (IS-85)
Description
The origin of the IS-1 project came from numerous reports regarding the KV-1. Even in its faster version, the KV-1S, offered no greater fighting capabilities than the T-34, while costing much more and being more labor intensive. The IS-85 (Obyekt 235) prototype started its successful but rushed trials in mid-1943. Production was assumed by Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant. The first IS-1 (definitive series vehicles) rolled of the line in October 1943, but it was stopped in January 1944, as the IS-1 was quickly replaced by the all-better IS-2. Because of this, only 200 to 207 were produced. The first IS-1s delivered were issued to Guards Heavy Tank Regiments reforming after the summer’s heavy fighting. The IS-85 was issued to the 1st, 8th and 13th Guards Heavy Tank Regiments in Ukraine. These were heavily engaged in early 1944 at Starokonstantinov, Korsun-Shevshenkovskiy and Fastov Station west of Kiev. Later on, most IS-1s were found engaged in Slovakia, and were later given to Slovakian free units during the uprising. This is a test version. This model is adapted for the game scale 1:100. Holes for 5x1 magnets are made on the body and in the turret. The IS series has a large number of different models. I will post most of them on my Boosty channel. The following models are currently available there: IS-3 https://boosty.to/ramzay1945/posts/b3d1db19-59f1-4584-9462-1ee3e70f03d7?share=post_link Object 704 https://boosty.to/ramzay1945/posts/ab52b896-c2ec-4031-9973-ef2878c8b76e?share=post_link Object 260 https://boosty.to/ramzay1945/posts/5da4c71d-71a7-434c-80cb-542e842f0371?share=post_link If you want to support me, you can visit my blog on Boosty.
