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.
