This is a built model of Russian Heavy tank IS-2m in Korean War. Model from 1/35 Dragon kits.

My only note would be that there were, SFAIK, NO JS-2's used in the Korean war. There were some accumulated on the Korean Border along with ISU-152's, but they were not committed.

The only other comment I would make is that it would be better off with a clear lens or a missing lens.

That's correct; the Chinese had some IS-2s but they were never used in combat. Great model though. Very, very nice finish.
