The Russian KV-I Tank Kit CA166 WWII produced by Tamiya in 1/35 scale assembly kit, is classified in Scale Models - Military Series - Tanks

The title KV, had been the initials of Klim Voroshilov. Klim was a Soviet hero whom did a great job in the Russian Civil War (at the least which what Soviet propagandists offer). Between the wars he spent their time pointing the top little finger at his comrades so Stalin had a lot of cannon fodder for their purges. His value as a Marshal during WW2 ended up being lower than spectacular. He was quickly changed on the front line and invested the rest associated with the war reviewing parade troops. This instead dim witted Marshal had been most likely under qualified to do this.
Whenever first introduced in late 1930's, the KVI was no question the most effective tanks in the world, and a complete key. It was developed to be completely "bulletproof", and was shot evidence up against the 37mm Anti-Tank Gun along with it's dense 100mm armor. In the B-model, armor ended up being increased yet another 25-35mm. The C-model utilized a cast turret, changing the old plated someone to increase protection. This hefty tank, weighing around 45 tons with crew of five, had been armed with 76.2mm primary gun and two MGs. The armament ended up being considered heavy for 1940, but by 1943 the primary weapon lacked punching power against brand new Panthers and Tigers. Its fat caused constant trouble using the transmission. As weight increased due to additional armor, the engine energy had not been increased. This caused successive models to become slow.
