Default RE: JS-3 conversion kit for the KV-1

This is all I have I thought I took more but I have also lost a few hundred pictures so they may be amongst the lost, this IS3 is/was located at the military museum Brussels since I took these pictures the museum has gone through a spot of renovation and all the tanks were removed so I don’t know if it has returned, the IS3 was complete even down to the original batteries still inside, the reliability problems with these tanks meant that all were used as gate guards with no mileage on them, IS3 was probably the most unreliable tank ever produced and would no doubt have broken down before entering battle though it still looked formidable








By the way this tank had stood outside for 7 years when I took these pictures
