Russian KV-1B w/Applique Armor - 1/48
Item #32545

Product Description

Tamiya announces the release of the up-armored KV-1B in our
ever-growing 1/48 MM Series. Display it with the previously
released KV-1 to show the differences between the two, line it up
with our other Russian vehicles like the T-34 and GAZ-67B, or
pit it against its German adversaries like the Tiger I and
Panther in battle dioramas.

About the KV-1B
Armed with a powerful 76.2mm main gun and equipped with 75mm
frontal armor, the KV-1 tank was an unpleasant surprise for the
German army when they invaded Russia in the summer of 1941.
Impervious to nearly all anti-tank guns, the KV-1 proved to be a
formidable opponent, but the introduction of newer, more powerful
German tanks lessened its advantage as the war went on. In
response, additional armor plates were bolted onto the hull and
turret to increase protection, resulting in the KV-1B variant.

About the Model
High quality 1/48 scale assembly model kit of the KV-1B heavy
tank.
Diecast chassis for added weight and realism.
Applique armor for turret and hull accurately reproduced complete
with bolt details.
Turret hatch can be modeled in both opened and closed positions.

Tank treads are assembly type, with the upper section featuring
realistic sag effect.
3 types of markings included (tentative).
