Tamiya 26526 1/48 finished tracked chassis model KV-1  [26526]

Tamiya 26526 - 1/48 KV-1 finished model from the 1/48 MM Collection

This is a finished 1/48 scale representation of the KV-1 heavy tank offered as a pre-built display item in the 1/48 MM Collection, presented with a die-cast chassis and factory-applied finishes.

The KV-1 was a Soviet heavy tank introduced before and used during the early years of the Second World War. Noted for thick armor and a 76.2 mm main gun, it operated primarily on the Eastern Front where its protection and weight challenged contemporary German medium tanks. The design emphasized armor and survivability rather than high mobility, giving it a distinct role in early wartime engagements.

Model details described by the producer indicate a pre-built finish with single-color painting and factory weathering applied. The item includes a die-cast chassis for added weight and stability, pad-printed markings rather than separate decal sheets, and a small display pedestal for presentation. An overall length is listed as 141 mm. These characteristics make the piece ready for immediate display or as a baseline for further detailing by experienced builders.

A pre-built, display-oriented representation of the KV-1 at 1/48 scale that emphasizes presentation and convenience for collectors and modelers seeking a ready-made subject or a starting point for further detailing.
