Tamiya Plastic Model Kit Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 (1/35) 35375 This 1/35 scale Tamiya model kit recreates the formidable Russian Heavy Tank KV-2, a distinctive and heavily armoured Soviet vehicle from the early years of WWII. Known for its massive box-like turret and powerful 152mm howitzer, the KV-2 was designed to smash fortified enemy positions. This kit offers highly accurate detailing, from the riveted armour plates to the oversized gun barrel, providing a satisfying and historically rich build. 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit Faithfully reproduced turret and hull with accurate proportions Detailed running gear and track assembly Includes accessories for added realism Clear assembly instructions for an enjoyable build Decals for authentic Soviet markings Paint and cement required (sold separately) The KV-2's sheer size and firepower made it a fearsome opponent during its debut in 1940, particularly during the Winter War and the early stages of the German invasion in 1941. However, its high profile, slow speed, and mechanical reliability issues limited its effectiveness in prolonged campaigns. Despite these shortcomings, the KV-2 remains an icon of Soviet armoured design, remembered for its imposing presence and battlefield impact. History: The KV-2 heavy tank was developed as a variant of the KV-1 to provide direct fire support against enemy bunkers and fortifications. Armed with the M-10 152mm howitzer, it could deliver devastating high-explosive shells, but the massive turret added significant weight, reducing mobility. Only a limited number were produced before the German invasion, and many were lost to mechanical breakdowns or encirclement. Nevertheless, KV-2 crews often fought with remarkable resilience, and the tank’s striking silhouette has secured it a lasting place in armoured warfare history.
