Hobby Boss 84810 KV-1 Model 1941 'KV Small Turret' Tank - Product Notes

The Hobby Boss 84810 1/48 scale representation of the Russian KV-1 Model 1941, called the 'KV Small Turret', lets modellers examine an early Soviet heavy tank type. The KV-1 won a 1939 contest for a new heavy design and was manufactured at the Kirov works. This release reflects the early production machines fitted with the L-11 76.2 mm gun.

Service History and Development

The KV-1 earned a reputation in Second World War fighting thanks to heavy armour and solid firepower. Early production examples used the L-11, with a later shift to the F-32 76.2 mm gun on many vehicles, a move that enhanced battlefield capability. This kit highlights the early configuration within the KV series.

Scale Modelling and Presentation Tips

At 1/48 the model offers appreciable surface detail while remaining modest in size. The small turret arrangement is accurately reproduced, making the finished model a tidy addition to a display case or a mixed-era shelf layout.
