Product Description
- A kit to easily create a powerful heavy tank
[About the actual car]
- During World War II, the Soviet Army developed and deployed a heavy tank called the KV-2, which was based on the KV-1 and equipped with a 152mm howitzer.
- The main gun is equipped with a 152mm howitzer.
- The turret designed to mount this gun was so tall and huge that German soldiers nicknamed it the Gigant.
- The engine is a liquid-cooled diesel engine.
- Approximately 200 were produced between 1940 and 1941.
- Although their heavy weight made them less maneuverable and less reliable, their heavy armor and powerful main guns were able to repel German attacks and gave the Germans a lot of trouble.
[About the model]
- The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces in 1/72 scale the KV-2, a heavily armored Soviet tank that plagued the German army in World War II.
- The tall turret, nicknamed the Gigant by German soldiers, and the 152mm howitzer mounted there make this an impressive vehicle.
- The model features a limited number of parts making it easy for even beginners to work on, and the reproduction of the turret, hull, and suspension systems is highly realistic when assembled.
- The tracks use a belt system that is easy to assemble.
- Not only the large turret shape, but also details such as the bolts and welding marks on the hull are reproduced with plenty of atmosphere.
- The turret can be rotated even after completion, and the gun barrel can be moved up and down.
- In addition, the commander's hatch can be assembled either open or closed, and one tank crew figure is also included.
- Markings are from the summer of 1941. They are reminiscent of the markings used on vehicles during the early stages of the German-Soviet War.
- The slogan painted on the side of the turret also adds a realistic touch to the finished product.
- This is a kit that even beginner modelers can easily enjoy.
