Armoured Vehicle IS-3 Heavy Tank Papercraft
The Iosif Stalin Tank (or IS Tank, named after Soviet leader Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin), was a heavy tank developed by the Soviet Union during World War II. Tanks of this type are sometimes referred to as JS or ИС tanks. At the end of 1944 the design was upgraded to the IS-3 type. The tank had an improved armor layout and a cast hemispherical turret (resembling an overturned "soup bowl") that would become hallmarks of postwar Soviet tanks. IS-3 appeared too late to fight in World War II. Although some sources have previously claimed that this tank saw combat at the end of the war in Europe, there are no official reports confirming this. It is now generally accepted that the tank did not engage the Germans, although a regiment may have been deployed against the Japanese in Manchuria. Instructions are already in the PDF file.
