T62 Tank
1/35 Scale
The next step up from the Soviets famous T-55 tank was the T-62.
Incorprating a larger and more advanced 115mm main gun, the T-62 also
had more armour. The design of the T-55 and T-62 has been so
successfull that it is still in use around the world with many counries
upgrading there vehciles rather than replace them. Some improvments
include additional turret armour, anti-aircraft machine guns, laser
rangefinders, and additioanl hull armour. While no longer considered a
fornt line vehicle, the T-62 was the reason many countries created many
modern MBTs.

ISU-152
1/35 scale
A Soviet WWII era self propelled 152mm assault gun, the ISU-152. Based
on the IS series chassis, a massive 152mm artillery piece was placed
inside a armoured casement to create what the soviets called a
Zverboi...an animal beater (from all the German Panthers, Tigers, and
Elephants it destroyed.) So massive was the shell it shot that while
the shell may not penetrate the enemy tank, it might knock the turret
OFF the tank. These vehicles were also invaluable as bunker busters and
close support for infantry.
