Thanks to a fellow Armorama member I am about to start Tamiya's IS-2 (JS-2)

I have all the Battle of Berlin photos I could find across the internet that included the IS-2, but wanted to know if anyone could post ones that are much harder to find I'd be very thankful.

Also, when installing the grills for the IS-2, I notice it gives a view into the empty hull and was hoping to find pictures of it so that I could possibly do a little scratch work so that it's not completely bare.

Lastly, where could I go for some good combat images of the Battle of Berlin from either side as I want to get a sense of the last fight and architecture that the IS-2 would be involved in.

Thanks,
Sean

Sean, about all you will see beneath the intake grilles are the baffles that directed air to the oil coolers that were located below and slightly inboard of the grilles. The baffles are in the kit and when the grilles are in place, look fairly close to photos of the real thing. Don't forget to add the rivet detail to the grilles though...the Tamiya etch parts are blank.
