Description

The Russian Heavy Tank KV-1 Model 1941 Early Production produced by Tamiya in 1/35 scale assembly kit, is classified in Scale Models - Military Series - Tanks

A Weighty Adversary

The Soviet KV-1 was officially adopted in 1939 and experienced a number of variations. Model 1941 KV-1s employed the 76.2mm ZIS-5 weapon, which could tear through the armor on contemporary German tanks; its early manufacturing variants had a welded turret with armor up to 75mm thick, and hung tough in fierce fighting with German armor following Nazi German invasion of Soviet Union in June 1941, adding to the Soviet opposition that will sooner or later turn the tables and push back the German advance. Soldiers had been modelers, too? It is said that German front line troops were supplied with wood and paper models of the KV-1 in a scale of around 1/20, to simply help determine the tanks and formulate counter-strategies. This kit includes a version in miniature 1/35 scale regarding the painting guide to cut right out and use in dioramas of tactical conferences and the like.
