Description
The KV-1's Bigger Brother
In December 1939 the KV-1 was officially adopted by the Soviet military; it was followed by the KV-2, a heavier design based upon the KV-1 chassis, but upgunned to a 152mm howitzer with the intention of breaking enemy strongholds; in order to accomodate the larger gun, the KV-2 was given a remarkably tall turret. Around two hundred were produced, and supply to the military began in July 1940. The following June, Nazi Germany invaded and the KV-2 - while suffering a number of breakdowns - took part in Soviet resistance against the invaders, their 152mm guns and impressive survivability enabling some amazing feats, helping stem the tide.

 

About the Model
★This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 204mm, width: 95mm. ★The imposing form of the KV-2 is artfully captured in 1/35 scale. ★Features depictions of the rough cast turret surfaces and also weld lines. ★Various hatches can be assembled in open or closed position. ★Assembly type tracks feature one-piece straight sections, and offer realistic depiction of upper run 'sag.' ★Comes with a full body commander figure, and a crew torso figure for installation in the hatch. ★Includes two marking options.
Packaging

 


★This model captures the mammoth KV-2 form in style, from the tall, boxy turret to realistic surface textures and detailing.
★A marking option is included to recreate a KV-2 captured by the German Wehrmacht and given a winter camouflage makeover.
★This image shows the massive 152mm gun, which includes rifling detail in the muzzle section for that extra layer of realism.

 


★The rough cast surfaces of the armor are captured in style. Mesh sections of the external air intake are recreated with fine molding.
★Depictions of the wide KV-2 tracks utilize single-piece straight sections and give a realistic rendering of upper run 'sag.'
★This kit comes with two figures: a full body commander and a crew torso; use them to add yet more life to your finished masterpiece.

 

★Left: The commander is pictured with a map. Note the realistic recreation of folds and creases in the clothing.

★Right: Also included is a line-up of materials such as KV-2 background information and color painting guide.
