Hi,
I think the
JS-2 is way overpriced. In terms of features and build complexity, it is only at par with previous Tamiya releases such as The King Tiger, Tiger 1, Jagdpanther , Panther, KV-1 and perhaps the Sherman. The M26 Pershing is even more complicated. Surely, it is far behind the Leopard 2A6 (multi-mode fiber optic lighting, bearing-equipped turret rotation system (the best), dual 540 motors, sealed and sophisticated gearbox assembly, translucent main gun tip, rubber-pad tracks, etc.). I have also been contemplating on the
JS-2 but can't seem to justify purchase.

I agree 100% I can't seem to justify the price. Although I'm a Tamiya fan, they overpriced this one, this smells like an abuse. After the indecent M51 which made me spend all my wallet just to build a decent one ( the only things useful in the big garbage box were the lower hull, HVSS and turret., as well as the electrics…with wrong sound or course), they could have been so nice Japanese people to make a new tank to a reasonable price.
But if the donkey modeler like me, bought it…. Then why not to follow milking the cow LOL LOL. My 2cts… you know.
