As some of you probably know, one of the IS-2's, from the collection of Military Technical Museum in Lešany, Czech Republic, has been in reconstruction for some time now. Well, it seems that work is finally done as VHÚ posted a nice short article about it (only in Czech though) on their website. It's one of the early IS-2s, originaly designated as IS-122, or more recently labeled as IS-2 model 1943. It's in running condition and will be presented at this years Tank Day in the museum next week. Oh and there's plenty of photos in the article mentioned above, some of which I'm posting below:
