This 1/35 scale assembly kit recreates the Russian Heavy Tank KV-2, a heavier variant of the KV-1 that incorporated a massive, boxy turret equipped with a 152mm howitzer. Although its weight caused frequent mechanical failures in the early part of the German-Soviet War from June 1941, one KV-2 is recorded to have single-handedly held up an entire German division for several days. The KV-2 concept also played a role in the development of heavy self-propelled guns such as the JSU-152.

This model captures the mammoth KV-2 form in style, from the tall boxy turret to realistic surface textures and detailed armour plating. A marking option is included to recreate a KV-2 captured by the German Wehrmacht with a winter camouflage scheme. Two figures are included: a full-body commander and a crew torso.

KV-2 tank — completed model overview

This model captures the mammoth KV-2 form in style, from the tall, boxy turret to realistic surface textures and detailing.

German Wehrmacht winter camouflage marking option

A marking option is included to recreate a KV-2 captured by the German Wehrmacht and given a winter camouflage makeover.

152mm gun with rifling detail

This image shows the massive 152mm gun, which includes rifling detail in the muzzle section for that extra layer of realism.

Cast armour surface and air intake mesh detail

The rough cast surfaces of the armour are captured in style; mesh sections of the external air intake are recreated with fine moulding.

KV-2 track assembly with upper run sag

Depictions of the wide KV-2 tracks utilise single-piece straight sections and give a realistic rendering of upper run 'sag.'

Crew figures — commander and torso

This kit comes with two figures: a full body commander and a crew torso; use them to add yet more life to your finished masterpiece.

Commander figure with map detail

The commander is pictured with a map; note the realistic recreation of folds and creases in the clothing.
