Hobby Boss 84811 - 1/48 Russian KV-1s Ehkranami Kit  [HB-84811]

Hobby Boss 84811 Compact 1/48 KV-1s Ehkranami Model

The KV-1s Ehkranami was a pragmatic upgrade that used bolt-on plates to strengthen the turret in the field. Hobby Boss 84811 renders that modification in 1/48 scale, preserving the visual cues of the retrofit armour and wartime repairs.

Evolution from the KV-1 Model 1941

To remedy the original KV-1s armour shortfall, crews and workshops added 25mm plates to the turret, producing an effective frontal thickness around 75mm. The model reproduces those plates and the way they were affixed to the turret structure.

Construction Notes and Finish Tips

The kit suits modellers who enjoy a detail-rich project without oversized parts. Careful seam work and selective weathering will highlight the bolt-on plates and produce a convincing wartime appearance for display.
