1/48 Scale Plastic model kit
Russian Hevy Tank KV-1
An Unpleasant Surprise for the German Army
When first introduced in late 1930s, the KV-1 was no doubt one of the most powerful tanks in the world, and a complete secret.
It was built to be completely "bulletproof", and its 100mm armor protected it against 37mm or 50mm anti-tank guns.
This heavy tank, weighing around 45 tons with a crew of five, was armed with 76.2mm main gun and two machine guns.
The armament was considered heavy for 1940, but by 1943 the main gun lacked punching power against new Panthers and Tigers.
Although production of the KV-1 series ended in July 1941, the tank was active throughout the conflict,
and the basic ideas were later incorporated in modern tanks of the Soviet Union and other nations. |
