The IS-3 and 4 tanks were extreme experiments in angles. I suspect that manufacturing challenges led the Soviets to go back to the box hull designs as in the T-72 though T-90 series.
Here's several schematics of the JS-3 (including the underside of the hull). To find this stuff I Google translated JS-3 Tank from English to Russian (ИС-3 танк) and Googled the result. Not everything on the net is in English. If I were to build this tank I'd go with a flat bottom.
