Historical Significance and Model Features

Named after Soviet hero Klim Voroshilov, the KV-I tank was introduced in the late 1930s as one of the most heavily armored tanks of its time. With a 76.2mm main gun and additional machine guns, it was a formidable opponent on the battlefield. This Tamiya kit replicates the tank's robust design, including its thick armor that once made it nearly invulnerable to anti-tank weapons of its era.

The model kit is crafted in 1/35 scale, allowing for precise detailing and an authentic build experience. Enthusiasts will appreciate the attention to detail in the cast turret and overall construction, which echoes the real tank's engineering challenges and battlefield prowess.
