1:35 Trumpeter 00356 KV-1 Model 1941 / KV Small Turret WWII – Soviet Heavy Tank Plastic Model kit

The 1:35 Trumpeter 00356 KV-1 Model 1941 / KV Small Turret is a strong plastic model kit of a Soviet heavy tank from the Second World War. This Static Armor kit is ideal for modellers who want to build a rugged Soviet tank with a clear historical background, recognisable design and a powerful presence in a WWII diorama or military vehicle collection.

The KV-1 was developed as the successor to the unsuccessful T-35 and abandoned the multi-turret layout in favour of a single turret with main armament. The first prototypes appeared in 1939 and the vehicle entered service in 1940. Thanks to its impressive armour and firepower, the KV-1 clearly surpassed almost every German tank when introduced. At the same time, the vehicle also had weaknesses, including poor manoeuvrability and a high failure rate of certain mechanical components, especially in the drivetrain. During the German-Soviet war from 1941 to 1945, the KV-1 was used on a large scale, while serial production continued until 1943 alongside the T-34.

This Trumpeter kit represents the Russia KV-1 Model 1941 / KV Small Turret Tank and consists of 235 parts with 10 sprues plus tracks. With its compact but powerful shape, metal pin, brass wire and built size of 195.5 mm long, 94.8 mm wide and 79.5 mm high, it is a great choice for fans of Soviet heavy tanks, KV-1 model kits and realistic 1:35 armoured vehicles.
