Almost finished building this kit. Its a great kit which is surprising being Tamiya
Don't worry about it being JS or IS, it just means Joseph Stalin, ioseph in IS case.
@Ezequiel Braden I care
True
Clever👍🏻
@@rexiejay-3424 It is the result of a simplifiction. The cyrillic 'j' (й) and 'i' (и) is the same letter, but the j has a sign (I dont know the correct name for that modifier, its not an umlaut) over it. Even russians tend to left the sign because in their vocabulary the io and jo is pronounced the same way. The other common simplification is the 'jo' (ё) letter written by 'je' (е). Tipical example is the name of Degtyaryov (Дегтярёв), and thanks to this for a long time his name were written in the west as Degtarev. His name is a real veterinary horse, it contains a lot of russian languistic traps for those who know nothing about the language. By the way, the ё and й letters most of the time missing from russian typewriters. This is the other reason of the confusion. Tipically nobody bothered him/herself to correct the typos, not even in official documents.
Loved. the heavy weathering. Would like to see this on a diorama. Nice job
on some tanks the barrel would move back into the turret. you should do some BIG scratches on the linkage of a Turret and a barrel.
Js2 = Joseph Stalin tank production 2
In russian its spelled iosif stalin
Nice build Andy :) I've done the same IS-2 and I must say it was fun to build at first I used the rubber tracks but then I thought let me try out the track links but then I thought to my self why don't I give the tank its natural sag whilst being able to move so I used the heavy wired linked tracks. Did 432 with the Bear and Star insignia and hand painted the white stripes then dusted up the crew and tank and made a flag for them to wave out of toothpicks and a tissue lol dusted it up with a charcoal black chalk for soot and dust and used a rust toned chalk to rust up my tracks, yours seemed to look better than mine keep up the good work
Hey. Sorry if this comment is 3 year late but thanks for the tip how to make those bumps on the track! I have Isu-152 and it made it better looking.
i love all your content, ive learned an immense amount since ive started watching you about a year ago
Katyusha plays in the background
Hello Andy, have you already a video or can you please explain to us the difference between lacquer, acrilyc and enamel thinner. I am newbie in the modeling world and I do not know clearly what is the different between each thinner. Excuse my english I am francophone (french) from Montreal Quebec :-)
Hey man, I have a question. Can the turret rotate in these Kits and Tanks?
PS. Great kit!
I love the tank and in World of tanks blitz it’s called the IS-2 but amazing work I just got one for my self.
I think the bear should be looking forward not backward... anyway great job as usual!
Can you make battle dammage on the tanks like bullet holes
•TheKaisTzar • but very much possible. It's not like it didn't happen
Put this kit together a while ago and have not weathered it yet, thank you for the guide!
Hi Andy, you are right it is not clear how to say, because the IS came from the Russian spelling of Iossif Stalin, but mor common is Josef Stalin so both seem to be right..keep going I love to watch your videos.
I like the idea of having plastic tracks for the experience and serious builders and the rubber tracks for the beginner and people who just want build the tank all in one kit like this one. That's why i love Tamiya its can be challenging on some models but fun and enjoyable.
JS/IS = Joseph Stalin/Iosif Stalin JS must just be the anglicised acronym of the name :)
I have to keep telling people the same thing about certain tanks....Ceramic coated reactive armor plates and titanium do not rust....its impossible, You might as well rust tires on an F1 model. certain materials don't rust because they contain no iron.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the bears are looking the wrong way.
I noticed that too. You beat me to it. Lovely model and very helpful video though.
It was nice meeting you today, Andy. We got to see where you make the magic happen. Have fun at the nationals this weekend.
Ian and Christie
Awesome tank, my IS was the first tank i three marked in WoTs so it will always be a favorite of mine. Would love to get the 1/16 Tamiya RC version but its really expensive even as 1/16 scale tanks go.
Sleepy .Time I yave a Jagdpanther rc 1/16 scale and a tiger but a bit smaller.
Yeah, the IS-2 was my first model tank ever. It was from Zvezda. It was Uuugly! Well, yeah. Bye?
This is one of your more artistic weathering jobs . I would say the numbers on the tank would be faded and had bleached marks or had some chip marks also.
I find watching Andy build more relaxing than building myself. I always enjoy watching. Another great project.
Glad you enjoyed it
Lol 14 min late
Awesome build Andy! Will see you Saturday at IPMS!
the weathering is real nice ....however you forgot to add some bend and twisted metal , a tank that bit up got always some scratches but don't get me wrong I am your biggest fan!
GREAT BUILD!! one of the best you have done.
I have a JS2.Great model. Don't weather my models all that much. I used the plastic track, and used the rubber track on another old T10 that I had. Great videos. Thanks
日本のプラモ！アキバに遊びに来てね👩
Nice work Andy. I have this kit and love the look of it but haven't built it yet, so this is good timing. Like how you have gone to town on the weathering
It's my favorite tank and I'm looking to buy it the next time I go to the official tamiya store in my country
If it's your favourite tank then you must be aware of who its named after
those tamiya rubber band tracks are a gift sent from god
This is an awesome video! You are awesome Andy, and you have the best modeling channel on youtube.
I have a question, I want to build a 1/18 rocket gantry but I can't for the life of me find the type pieces I need to do this. Can you point me to any kits? Thanks
alway a great way to help get to sleep just throw a vid on from Andy and let it just relax you and out like a light you go. great vid :) Tanks for the great upload
Just bought this kit. Since I’ve started watching your videos, my models now look like real tanks, and not like children’s toys. Thanks for all the awesome hints and tips 👍👍👍
Just wondering... why did you use all the light desert colours on the lower hull on a tank that never even came close to a desert ? Why not use the darker earth colours appropriate for the Soviet and eastern-Europe area it was deployed in ?
Have you seen the trailers for the Mortal Engines movie and if so, what do you think about cities on treads like tanks?
Stratus Strong silly but cool
Very nice work Andy, she looks terrific!!👍🏻
Excellent build 👍 Do you use some kind of retarder with the Tamiya paints for the sponge chipping? I've sprayed a T-34 with Tamiya paints but when I tried to do the sponge chipping with a lighter mix the Tamiya paint had dried on my palette and sponge before I could do more than a couple of dabs.
I have been looking at buying a IS kit and was surprised how hard it is to find a early IS-2 with the stepped front hull. There is a resin conversion kit and apparently Dragon made a IS-1 and early IS-2
Stalin was called Joseph or Uncle Joe in western media so the Stalin tanks were called JS-1 or 2 by the west. The actual spelling was Iosef so in Soviet union it was called the IS-1 or 2. I guess it depends on if you live in western culture or eastern europe culture whether you call it JS or IS.
model building has become expensive hobby using fancy airbrush,model tools,weathering paint etc,, to the max. It will be the decline of model building in the near future, because the average model builder person can't afford it.
Does anyone make rubber tracks for 1/35 scale T-72? I built a tamiya kit that had been sitting around since 1992 and those tracks that came with it were super brittle and broken.
hi Andy, great work as always !!! especially i love the weathering on this one, very realistic indeed. come to think of it, i never saw you've build an IDF Centurion tank before. how about trying to build one ? ;-)
ha Andy can u please do a ju 87r junkers stuka please by trumpeter 1/32.i realy love da way u do kits tanks my number1.planes2.joe australia.thanks mate
An idea for a diorama for this tank: have a scene of them painting the white stripe on the tank.
If i’m not mistaken the Americans often like to call the JS tanks IS for whatever reason. It means the same thing though, “Joseph/Iosif” stalin so it really doesn’t matter.
I find it strange that people would use the russian name Iosif instead of the western name Joseph when the russian name for the JS tanks are ИС...
Hi there. Sorry for being off topic. Andy do you plan to have an european spreadshirt shop? I dunno if it just me, but i'd really like to get one of your shirts, but getting em shipped to europe is just way too expensive.
my style of weathering!
Why not putting some "gun powder" around the MGs and the gun barrel ?
That would really make it look like it has seen combat and shot some bad guys :D
You at the beginning of the video show the box, it has a photo of the tank, because you can see that the bear (drawing on the tower) is moving forward)))) But seravno decal did the opposite! is this on purpose or what?)
so once you're finished with the paint job, you put a coat of ts-80 to seal it. Then why put another coat of paint on it? I thought you're supposed to put the weathering and decals on a model that's been sealed? I'm still learning.
That is one hell of a filthy tank. Personally I think all that weathering ect. is a bit much. Whenever we had down time and near a water source, like a stream or pond I'd have the men drive it in and do some washing. A clean tank is a happy tank and commander.
Just started with pin washes and a bit unclear, using enamel wash am I best to apply on an enamel or acrylic varnish ? Thanks in advance, any advice would be very welcome
Great, great, great video! I picture this tank to be going through the rubble streets of Berlin, knocking down buildings and concrete walls. You should do a diorama with a rubble building. Awesome job!
Thank you.
Berlin, you say. What buildings? What walls?
Or I should rather say remains of buildings, rubble.
...AWESOME ANDY!!!!!!! THANKS!!! I LOVE THE WEATHERING TIPS...
Russian ww2 tank wouldn't have rusto anyway. Tank would die faster than rust will come on tracks
JS-2 or IS-2 are right since their based off of how you say Stalin’s name.
Andy which airbrush do You use? Thanks from Argentina
Where are the figures that were included? They are shown on the box art. Why didn't you put those in as well?
im building a t34 panther panzer 3 easy 8 sherman ju87 and b25
i dont know who said the tracks dont rust when in combat but that is not absolutely correct . the knuckles on the tracks will start rusting as soon as the machinery stops in position . never seen seen a rust free track knuckle in my nine years of service
When I get my t34, do you have any recommendations for a diorama that I can nuild
@@snaggingfir4987 I was thinking a factory, or something like that
Great job been modeling along time. One thing in every photo on Russian tanks you see the log ?
Really nice buddy, a friend of mine told me to put clean steel wool in a bottle with vinegar and when it rust use it on my tanks
I don't want to complain about your build, but you put the top mantlet cover on backwards
Andy, can you put a flat coat on the pigments to seal it, or will it ruin the affects you are trying to achieve?
Andy, did you close the google+ group and only facebook remain? ( That makes me said as I don't have a FB account and for this only I won't make one). Good work I guess, but the bears are facing the wrong (probably you mixed up the decals)...
I think that this your best looking model yet!! I’d love to see it in a diorama! :)
Its JS 2 if you say Josef Stalin, and IS if you say Iosef (Spelling?) Stalin, basically the Russian pronunciation
What type of sanding sticks do you use, and even if you're not using an airbrush should you still thin the paint?
I'm trying to get into military models after primarily building Gundam kits, my first being the B-17G by Revell and would appreciate some tips. Thanks in advance to those who also reply.
Nice work Andy (a bit too dirty in my opinion, although I really like your work on tracks).
By the way, you can find pictures of this exact tank in Berlin (front part of both fenders gone) here:
armorfiendmodeler.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/432-berlin-starboard.jpg
Recently built the IS3, now i may have to go get the IS2 as well, after I finish the Trumpeter KV7 and KV220...
New tanks off of the assembly line are stored outside awaiting delivery. Since the tracks are bare steel, they rust like crazy but otherwise when operating on their own power, no rust. Park it for a couple of days in the depot and presto, rust again.
Great job Andy.
I have this same model but i dont have the every of these washes and you are very very good build models
Modeling helps to forget about all the garbage I deal with everyday at work.
Rich D64 life after work, huh? Same here...
Great build, wonderful paint job as ever. Now, where's my IS...............????
Great kit!
Thank you.
Медведи задом наперед
Very great guide, Andy.
If possible I would like to ask if you could make a guide for modern armored cars and their clear parts for lights, etc. I cannot seem to find a good guide on how to paint the clear parts and especially when. Should I paint them last and glue them on last or should I paint while building and mask them off? Which colors should I use and which colors will make a glass kind of look? I really hope you could help out with this as many modelers do old tanks instead of modern armored cars.
Here’s an excuse for rusty tracks it’s sat in one place for 10+ years
The dispute for the JS or IS dedication on any tank ist due to the difrent pronoucings of the name Joseph Stalin.
Joseph Stalin = JS
Ijoseph Stalin = IS
Im not sure which is the original russian but i belive it was the JS designation.
I got a few Vallejo pigments the other week and one was titanium white pigment powder I wasn't to sure of it but bought it just to have so tried it out on my practice Sherman and waw! It's great for adding highlights and using for woren through pain streaks etc and it's really good for an ash look if you wanted to do a burnt out tank which iv never seen in a diarama yet so I'm thinking along the way of a burn out Sherman since it's just a practice model it'll still come in useful
Hello Andy. I have been watching your videos for a long time.And i've never thought to ask this question of you before. I can see part of your store. How much more is there in your store for the customer to look at. Or is what it shows in your video it as far as your store goes. I am just curious about that. One more thanks, sir.Would you please email me your address of your store for ordering. So I can do soom ordering from you. I do like all the 1/16th. Scale model kits that you have put out. But I have been doing my diaramas all in 1/35 scale. All of my building molds are in 1/35th scale. All of the wood I have is too small to make things into 1/16th scale. So I am going to continue ordering 1/35th scale items. Looking at your videos, it seems you have a large variety of them. Where I live at they don't even store that kind of a model anymore. Nobody has armor anymore. By the way, I live in middle Tennessee. So if you would sir could you answer me about the size of your store and send me the address so I can see what you have for sale.
Thank you very much.
What is that little thing you use for the tracks that makes them sort of curved
Can you build the tamiya m109a6 paladin?
great stuff like it as post will see more and last the doors
This tanks looks too rusty to me. Were these tanks really that weathered?
Very nice build and excellent "step by step". As always.
(I built one of the DML's earlier this year. Nice build. I do prefer the fit of Tamiya kits.)
Thnx.
JS and IS are both technically correct. Iosef is the Russian way to say Stalin’s name. Anyone few free to correct me.
Andy, have you ever built the trumpeter e-25?
Do you have any problem getting the links of the track to meet up? How do you make sure you've spaced it correctly?
Great build, just wondering though are those decals for the half star and white bear on the wrong side? On the box art the bears are facing forward but yours are facing backwards.
Nice, nice, nice...👍👍
Its the 1944 variant cause of the sloping front plate, the JS-2 standard type is the same as the JS-152 which you've built for us, Great work as always, Personally I would of used the fruilmodel tracks since they're easier to rust/weather.
one of the best you have done. a lot of modelers dont weather tanks enough.
amen to that !!!!
Hey Andy, are you going to build the 1/350 USS Enterprise behind you?
How about a space 1999 22” eagle build?
Just curious why u don't prime the model?
