Trumpeter 07234 KV-1 Model 1942 Simplified Turret Tank - Historical Modelling Kit

The Trumpeter 07234 KV-1 Model 1942 Simplified Turret Tank presents a faithful 1:72 interpretation of the wartime KV-1, concentrating on the increased armour thickness and a simplified turret profile introduced in 1942. It is suited to modellers who prioritise a compact, authentic subject.

Context and appeal to modellers

The KV-1 was famed for its heavy armour, with some plates reaching around 120 millimetres, and the 1942 variant adopted a simplified turret to aid production. This kit mirrors those practical adjustments and invites careful assembly and finishing.

Size, parts and finishing advice

With finished dimensions of 96.8mm length, 46.3mm width and 39mm height, the model is small but detailed. The kit includes 94 plastic parts across 6 sprues and provides options for painting in winter camouflage or overall green to match period photographs.
