Russian KV ‘Big Turret’ 1/35 Trumpeter

The KV heavy tank was designed and used as heavy break-through tank. To a tank of this task, the shortcomings of its L-11 main gun, which is not good at dealing with enemies’ bunkers and fortifications, could be fatal. So a heavy tank carrying a much bigger gun to better do the job was created alongside the 76.2mm gun tanks. The first of this type uses a new, high, seven-sided turret that mounted the 152mm M-10 howitzer. This version, which had many detail differences from the later standard type, was usually dubbed KV ‘Big Turret’ or KV-2 Model 1939. As such a big turret on the usual KV hull proved to be very un-maneuverable it soon earned the funny nickname “Mobile washroom”!.

Trumpeter often recommends using Tamiya X and XF paints – click here to purchase!
