The JS-2 is shaping up beautifully! One of the coolest looking Soviet heavies from that era.

JS-2 looks good.
Can't believe how many parts are in those truck kits!

The JS is coming along nicely John  Thanks Paul !
It's a very good kit so far. Nothing complicated or over engineered ... So just like the real one? 👍👍 |
