Russian KV-1 - 1/48
Item #32535

The largest, most heavily armored tank of its time when
introduced, the KV-1 heavy tank played a major role in the
defense of Russia in WWII. This assembly kit depicts a 1940 model

type, never before modeled in 1/35 scale and therefore a 1/48 MM
Series original. Model accurately reproduces the KV-1?s 76.2mm
main gun and square-shaped welded turret. Use with Russian
Infantry and Tank Crew Set to display Soviet forces on the move,
or set against arch-rival, the German Tiger I.

About the Russian KV-1
When first introduced in late 1930's, the KVI was no doubt one of

the most powerful tanks in the world, and a complete secret. It
was built to be completely "bulletproof", and was shot proof
against 37 or 50mm Anti-Tank Guns with it's thick 100mm armor.
This heavy tank, weighing around 45 tons with crew of five, was
armed with 76.2mm main gun and two MGs. The armament was
considered heavy for 1940, but by 1943 the main gun lacked
punching power against new Panthers and Tigers. Although
production of the KV-1 series ended in July 1941, the tank was
active throughout the conflict, and the basic ideas were later
incorporated in modern tanks of the Soviet Union and other
nations.
