I was wondering what is the best way to build an accurate or mostly accurate JS-1? (otherwise known as an IS-1)

I have the old DML JS-1 but have been told the turret is wrong.

Sorry if this has already been covered I did try searching first.

Thanks in advance.......

Best one I ever did was mixing DML and Zvezda parts. Two kits and hard work will build one nice model. Might look into a KV-85 turret, that should be good.

Thanks, Jacques

I was actually thinking of mixing the Bronco KV-85 turret and either the Tamiya JS-2 hull with the DML top front glacis or just mixing the KV-85 turret and the JS-1 hull.

Thanks Again
